Came off 15mg of mirt gradually, over a month or so having Bern on it for about 4 months for depression and sleep problems. Came off because I had zero motivation to do anything, total lacklustre, but they did help with my sleep, which has been a problem for many years but has got worse.
I found that when I started cutting back to 7.5 and even half that my sleep was still ok and my motivation, while not what I wanted was definitely better on such low dose than on 15mg.
Now that been off for a month sleep is very bad, and this is now making my depression come back with a vengeance. I was almost at point of being scared of going to bed as knew wasn't going to get to sleep, but when on mirt, knee I would get sleep even on small dose. Now seriously thinkin of going back to 7.5. Thoughts, advice?
As I say had problems many years with sleep so this is NOT brought about by not having the mirt, been like this with sleep for 15years, and I do function better with sleep as we all do I guess. Not going back onto 15mg, but 7.5, maybe

I would stay off it if possible but if you need to sleep you could always go back on half the dose or less . I was getting good results on 3.75. Even At 1.87. This is a strong but nasty little drug. When it poops out you don't want to be on high doses, and they all eventually do.

yes you are right, it's strange. Pretty bad st moment, could be withdrawal, but I doubt it, didn't have any withdrawal when coming off, but guess it's lack of and fear of sleep that is having big effect. I'm not on any other meds. Feel sorry for those around me. Not for myself though, not that selfish!

I wouldn't take it everyday as it's effects will weaken but it might be worth a try unless you have any other medical condition which might contradict its use.

Sounds unbelievable this, but I have not slept through the night for 25years, used to wake up 7 or8 Times a night, but felt ok. Not the case anymore I'm afraid
