Withdrawal from meds

Amerantin
23 days ago

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.

    Hi Amerantin.
    Max dose of Mirtazapine is 45mg.
    Am on it now Myself.
    Just like diazepam You should not go cold turkey.
    You should be on a " reduction "  programme like me to gently weane off.
    Withdrawl can be dangerous, trust me.
    Call you G.P and tell them it is urgent .
    Tell them what you have posted here.
    3 weeks ago i told my CMHT team that i was fed up of being on Diazepam.
    I told them i was going " cold turky " on the 10mg per Day i had been taking for Years.
    They actually prescribed me an anti-epiletic drug in case of seizures due to withdrawl.
    My advive is NEVER go cold turkey, You sound like You already have withdrawl.
    It can be fatal.
    Call Yout g.p ASAP. ( Just to be on the safe side )
