Withdrawal from meds

Deleted User

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.

  • There are new guidlines on tapering off SSRI's & SNRI's. This should be done very gradually to avoid nasty withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms are often mistaken for " a clinical need" for the medication. People very often have to reinsate the medication to ease the withdrawal symptoms. This is why a slow taper is very important.
