I am a regular round mental health, but just wondering if anyone can help me re. coming off mirtazapine?
I am slowly coming off lithium at the moment and am now in month 5 of my 6 month weaning off process - yay!! So nearly there, and no negative effects.
I think I will be off lithium fully in about 4 weeks time.
I then plan to get off my mirtazapine - it is the lowest dose 15mg so am really really really hoping it won't be too bad. However, I had a MASSIVE sleeping problem which mirt basically resolved, so am very worried about coming off this one.
What is the best way to do this? Inexplicably my psychiatrist is completely clueless in this area and just says "do what feels best to you"
Am thinking to do it over the course of a month? Does that seem sensible / too fast / too slow?
We want to try for DC #2 asap but don't want to rush this process as it would be a disaster to have to go back on the drugs.
Thanks for any help or encouraging words...
