Use Mirtazaopine for a week or 2 and then cut back. Only side effect is grogginess in morning

Doctors are clueless when it comes to tapering off medication unfortunately, they just don't care. So I'd suggest that you leave it up to you to do what's best and taper it yourself nice and slowly. They'll most likely just try to taper you off really quickly. Tapering 5% every two weeks is the safest way as it helps eliminate the withdrawal symptoms. Hope all the best for you in your process.
