Mirtazapine - can I suddenly stop taking 15 mg when I’ve been taking for 24 days?

Hi barrylaidlaw13, can you let us know how you got on?

I've been taking mirtazapine at a low dose for a few weeks for insomnia, but any attempts to reduce below a certain level results in uncontrolled anxiety.

How have you got on?

I would like to get off it without destroying my sleep or life, but not sure how.

Hello, Barry.
No, 24 days is long enough for the drug to have built up and for your metabolism to have become adjusted to it. You should always talk with your health care provider for advice on how to taper off to prevent discontinuation symptoms.
"Do not stop using Remeron suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms (such as dizziness, vomiting, anxiety, confusion, strange dreams, feeling shaky). Ask your doctor how to safely stop using this medicine."
