Weaning off zolpidem (Ambien)

When I weaned off of Ativan, I did a much slower weaning than the doctor recommended. Took six months but I’m finally off it. In its place, a sleep therapist prescribed a low dose of mirtazapine which has been working for me.

Hi
I have been taking Ativan for 20 or more years mostly only .5
However I got a new doctor because mine left and this new doctor will not prescribe me any more Ativan which worked for me
I have started mirtipizine against my wishes
I don’t want to gain weight or hair loss as it is a side effect..
I am curious as to how you make out on it and why you switched from Ativan to mirtipizine?
Hope you do well…
