Hi, I'm JMAR

November 11, 2026

I want to taper from 2.5 mg of Mirtazapine. I went on it for sleep 2 years after a 3.5 year slow taper from Clonazepam. I never was able to sleep after the benzo taper. I have also been on Prozac for 25 years.

Hi JMAR: welcome to Taper Community. We’re glad to have you here. I too am on Mirtazapine. It’s a drug that I’m hoping to taper soon. I’m recovering now from withdrawal from Sertraline. When I feel better, I’m going to also taper from Duloxetine, then from Mirtazapine. I have a long history of psychiatric drug taking. Doctors have given me many diagnoses, which I now have decided didn’t really mean much other than a way for them to give me drugs.. The taping takes a while, but the feeling better is worth every single second of it. You’re very welcome here and there are many resources here for you to look through. Go around on our website.

In my life, have been on Prozac, Wellbutrin, Amytriptiline, Ambien, Seroquel, Zoloft, pamelor, Nortriptiline, Clonazepam, Suboxone (for insomnia), Effexor, Valium, Trazadone, Zanax, and Gabapentin. These, I remember.
