Have any of you stopped taking your meds and how did it go?
I stopped my Mirtazapine on Monday with the agreement of my GP and I’ve had a week of very upset stomachs, dizziness and mood swings. I feel absolutely rotten just now but I know I need to get through this.
I just hope it doesn’t last too long.
Can I ask why did you come off it? Was it not working? Mines doesn’t do much either but I just stay on it at a low dose so I don’t get any side effects. Low dose is better in my opinion.
There were two reasons: firstly, I think the effect on my mental state has been quite subtle and probably not worth the bother. The second reason is that I’ve put on 8-9kg I want to get control of my weight back before I turn into a blob.
