My personal care doctor thought that if the Mirtazapine wasnt working for me that it might be time to titrate off of it. I have been on it for almost 9 years. Iam just concerned about the length of time i have been on it and what kind of withdrawal i will have. My P Doc suggested it too but said we can wait a while. Right now iam on 300 mg of SeroquelXR, 20 mg of Buspar, 20 mgs of Propanolol, and 45 mgs of Mirtazapine. It seems like alot of medicine. My diagnoses is Depression and Panic disorder.

???? I'm not taking the drug or asked for help. I was replying to someone else on the network.
@shoregal45. Very sorry. My post was in response to @anniegk and not you. Profuse apologies.
That's okay. I'm new to all this.

I have a few suggestions. First, please don't mix the advice of your personal care doctor with that of your psychiatrist. Second, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling OK or are you not feeling well? If it is the former, please don't change your medication. You have been stable on it for nine years. You may have to take it for the rest of your life to stay well. And if it is the latter, then please discuss a new treatment plan with your psychiatrist. That may involve increasing, not tapering, Mirtazapine, which is a very safe drug with few side effects. Third, people with your illness often have to take many drugs for their whole life. So please do not be concerned with the number of drugs you are taking or the duration. The important thing is to stay well, not taper drugs for the sake of tapering. I am speaking from experience. All good wishes.
