Hi, thanks for asking. It's not good....before I decided to drop the last bit of 3.75mg I was feeling stable. No more morning anxiety, sleep was good. The reason I want to be off these meds is because I didn't like the morning grogginess and the constant knawing of hunger in my stomach. But now I am asking myself if that's a small price to pay for mental stability and sleep, or if I stay this course will this eventually stabilize and I'll feel better. The 7.5 mg mirtazapine tablet is very tiny to begin with. I was having to cut it in half with a good pill cutter to get 3.75mg. To go any lower than that I don't think is possible, that's why I stopped after 2 weeks on 3.75mg. My mental health practitioner told me after 2 weeks I could stop. Sometimes I think they don't understand that the old tapering schedules are not correct and that ppl need more time. But with that said, I was just really wanting to be free of the hassle of cutting this tiny little pill, and like I said the side effects were still there even with that low of a dose.

If you dont have bad withdrawel symptoms. Rather leave it. Mirt is a bastard meds and not easy to get rid of. The pill cutters are not very reliable or accurate. The best method is to liquidify the tablet in a syringe with 7.5ml water in total. (1ml=1mg) Shake it and discard what you dont want and drink the rest. It forms a milky suspension. Take something afterwards because it taste very bitter.
