Never heard of Mirtazapine, but any antidepressants must be withdrawn gradually under a doctor's care.

That is the generic. It is called Remeron. Iam on Seroquel and buspirodone (sp) ? also. Iam so terrified of withdrawals and after this many years and such a high dose, i am really scared. I have heard that some of the antidepressents are more difficult to come off of than others. Drugs terrify me and i wish i wasnt on any of them. But i have terrible panic/Anxiety and depression. At my age, i dont know what to expect.

Hi @anniegk I recall when my doctors wanted to wean me off an anti-seizure drug I had been on for a couple of years. My anxiety was sky high and it was a tough thing for me to face. I found the best resource for me at that time was to really talk through my concerns with the doctor. She agreed to set me up with a regular call in/check in with her nurse just so I could have someone to touch base with and ease my concerns about how I might be feeling that day. In my case it really helped!

Yes, I understand and am scared of meds. I would strongly suggest that if you come off your meds you do so under a proper doctor's care. I can't stress that enough. I tried coming off them slowly but crashed - you don't want to do that. See a psychotherapist and medical doctor. Good luck.
