I take 15mg per day of mirtazapine. Has anyone got a good tapering off regime.

@bigjohnscho, you might find some helpful tapering tips in this related discussion:

Members are sure to advise a slow taper. A gradual dose reduction is recommended instead of abrupt cessation when possible. You are already on a low dose so you may wish to consult with your doctor and/or pharmacist on a recommended tapering schedule and if it is okay to split pills or take every other day or something different.
