How to come off mirtazapine safely | Mirtazapine | Forums - Patient
WEBSep 24, 2017 — They were quick to put me on to the Mirtazapine but have offered no help in coming off. The waiting list to see a physchiatrist is months. The duty doctor just told me to go from 30mg to 15mg & then come straight off them. My own doctor said that there's not much she can do other than help me with the insomnia …
Mirtazapine sedative effects 15mg vs higher doses
WEBDec 23, 2014 — The sedation on Mirtazipine is caused by it blocking the histamine H1 receptor. At 15mg the H1 is pretty much fully blocked so any higher dose will not make you more tired. However doses higher than 15mg do continue to increase the seretonin and (most importantly to this discussion) the Nor-epinephrine (nor-adrenaline to you and me).
Splitting Mirtazapine tablets in half??? 15mg.....is this ok to Do?
WEBI just wondered if splitting them would work out as odd measures instead of accurate doses. Yes, you can use a pill cutter, but as you titer down, the dose will become more difficult to accurately measure. I would suggest a schedule as follows: 15 mg --> 7.5 mg --> 3.75 mg --> 1.875 mg and then discontinue.

Mirtazapine withdrawal timeline - help! | Mirtazapine | Forums
WEBJun 26, 2017 — I have been taking 15 mg for about 8 months then tapered to 7.5 for a month and 3.75 for another month. I stopped taking it completely 3 weeks ago. Mirtazapine has helped me with sleep and anxiety to some extent but the weight gain (17 pounds) is more than I was willing to put up with.
Is 7.5mg more sedating than 15mg? | Mirtazapine | Forums - Patient
WEBApr 3, 2018 — I've tried Mirtazapine before, and it's been incredibly sedating in the past and really helped with my nausea. I've heard that the lower the dosage, the more sedating Mirtazapine is, I said about this to my doctor, and I asked if it would be possible to break my 15mg tablets in two. He said to me 15mg should be sedating enough.
Mirtazapine withdrawal, how long does it last?
WEBHello Rachael, I was on Mirtazapine for over 2 years, 30mg. I have been off the medicine since almost three months now, and still suffer some withdrawal issues. Anxiety is a major one. As you were on the medicine for 'only' 6 months, i suppose your withdrawal will not last that long, and you will feel better soon.

WEBJan 3, 2017 — Starting the Mirtazapine: I started on the 15mg Mirtazapine. I took it the Friday evening and was completely emotionally detached for the whole weekend thereafter. I was distant and felt fuzzy, but strangely happy at the same time. I remember thinking that everyone should be taking this stuff because there would be a lot less fighting in the world.
Mirtazapine 15 mg compared to 22.5 and 30 | Mirtazapine
WEBDec 17, 2016 — rob03933. The lower the dose the more sedating. Sounds paradoxical, but that is the nature of Mirt, the lower you go you might feel more fatigued. 7.5 mg was the worst for me, and once below 5 mg I seemed to have less and less fatigue. I would figure it in to your itinary when you get to that dose, I mean I wouldn't want to be moving house or ...
