@visionsofelvis - I don't believe I've yet met you on Mayo Clinic Connect, so welcome. I wanted you to know I moved your message here where others were discussing a similar theme about wanting to be off of mitrazapine:

Does your prescribing physician have a tapering schedule you might follow to safely taper off this medication with a minimum of side effects? Are you going to be moving to another medication instead of this one?

@lisalucier I live in Las Vegas and health groups are terrible here. I have an appointment week from today with this psychiatrist and hopefully he’ll be able to taper me off slow so I don’t have bad anxiety. Began 15 mg on Jan 8 then April 1st began 7.5. It’s been a rollercoaster. You’re lucky you were on it for short time. Any advice?
@lisalucier hi Lisa just had telemed call with my physician assistant and she advised me to just stop the 7.5 mg of mitrazapine I said and how will I get to sleep and I said I was in stabilizing period which I’m getting lot of anxiety . What would you do? Also I’ve been on 7.5 for 6 weeks
