Ambien and mirtazapine

Posted by imomtojdkt @imomtojdkt, Jun 5, 2024

I have gone through a lot of trauma and medical issues this last year and it’s gotten to the point the Ambien I’ve taken for 15 years isn’t working well anymore. My doc started me on Mirtazapine for that and other issues and I thought I could just cold turkey the Ambien. That does not work. Does anyone have suggestions, I’m thinking of cutting Ambien down 25% a week while taking Mirtazapine so I can eventually only reply on that. Any thoughts?TIA

you cant just stop anti depressants especially if you have been on them for a long time. I am still on mirtazapine because I cant get off it. Would be easier ( maybe ) if they made it in a tablet. but Doc says if you have been on something like that for a year it can take 2 to come off it.( not talking specifically about mirtazapine )
