    It takes 2-4 weeks for the medication to start working or for you to start feeling the benefits from it. Did your Doctor say to reduce the dose or did you do it without advice? Mirtazapine is a very powerful drug and by lowering the dose your going to feel it. My advice would be to ask your Doctor. Otherwise go back to your prescribed dose and ask for advice on stopping it from there.
