What helped you during Mirtazapine Withdrawal

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have been taking 15mg of Mirtazapine for roughly a year and a half, I have just started tapering 3 days ago doing the 10% every month method. I know my body reacts easily to any form of drug, recreational or medicinal, so I knew this entire process was going to be difficult. On day one, I felt anxious when I woke up and very depressed at night (not sure if this is from placebo or if the first cut had immediate effects), and slightly nauseous throughout the day. Day 2 was much easier, the nauseous feeling was on and off but not serious at all. Today is day 3, I couldn't sleep last night until 6:30am, woke up late at 4:00pm and I felt decent up until now, 9:15pm where I felt nauseous again and had to lie down.

I have a medical cannabis prescription and have been medicating throughout the day everyday to counteract the anxiety and nausea and it is working for the most part. I decided to make this post to ask everyone else that has gone through this or is currently going through this, what have you been doing/taking to mitigate these negative side effects? They're getting in the way of some projects I'm working on, and I believe soon my workplace will be opening up again and if these side effects keep persisting, I won't be able to work. Anything helps, thanks!

    hi, i think i see your problem. it is advised to not take alcohol or recreational drugs during withdrawal. maybe your medical canabis is affecting you. i went from 15mg to 7.5mg horrendous withdrawal then down to 5mg 2 weeks ago. not so bad. from sunday going down to 3.75mg. i dont take any other meds so maybe its the reason i dont feel too bad. good luck
