Has anyone been taking Mirtazapine? Like to know if they have taken themselves off and how did you do it?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

I have the same symptoms as you have. What dosage are you on? I was on 30mg and have started to reduce it to 22.5mg.

Have been taking mirtazapine for years for depression (the only antidepressant that I can take as all others made me more anxious. ) But I didn't know that mirtazapine is remeron. I thought remeron was taken for restless leg syndrome. Confusing??

Oh meant to say only side effect of mirtazapine that I have noticed is weight gain. But then almost all antidepressants I took also had weight gain as a side effect. Otherwise, I haven't noticed any side effects. I really did try all antidepressants that are out there and even a cocktail of a couple but nothing helped with depression like Mirtazapine. I take 30mg. before bed.
