Tapering off mirtazapine

Posted by ladydi82 @ladydi82, 2 days ago

Hello, I’ve been on mirtazapine since March 2025. I was on 15mg, but as of last night I am on 7.5mg. I want to completely taper off. How long should I stay on 7.5mg by experience before stopping completely? Like I mentioned, I haven’t been on it long. Thanks!

I was in it a short time, too. It made me so hungry I could eat a cardboard box! 😂

You may be able to split your 7.5 and do that for a couple weeks and split that half again for a couple weeks. I was also on it a short time but literally stopped after the first day (was only in 5mg) because I wanted to eat everything in sight.

I took 7.5 mg for 6 months. It did not help my insomnia and I didn’t gain weight. I just stopped taking it and had no problem.

I was on this medication for a couple of months and it was a very unpleasant experience, the only thing I liked was the appetite it gave me but that was it, getting off them was easy, I took one every other day for two weeks and then stopped and never had any issues doing so, you’ve been on them very briefly so you shouldn’t have any problems.
