Hi, I’m Kerry W. I have joined the group for support with protracted acute withdrawal syndrome after taking mirtazapine for just 4-5 months. I am currently in the midst of a terrible wave even though I’ve been off 7 months. This wave has bought horrible panic and dpdr. Although i constantly have poor sleep, head and body vibrations and all manner of symptoms on and off.

Hi @Kerry W, welcome to Taper Community. I'm sorry for what you're going through; no doubt it's quite challenging for you. When the waves hit I think we all convince ourselves that it will never end, but it always does. I hope you're able to keep your life as stress-free as you can while you heal. Recovery can take longer than we'd like, but it will happen so hang in there. Our brains have an incredible capacity to heal. I'm going to include some information below that I hope will help you to endure this difficult time. Please reach out anytime, we're here to help and listen whenever you need us. https://taper.community/resources/blog/protracted-withdrawal-syndrome-explained https://taper.community/resources/blog/windows-and-waves-withdrawal-pattern https://taper.community/thread/26b781b7-f7f2-480c-8bc7-b893e9b6f802 https://taper.community/thread/04cdcfc2-b4ca-4fce-9152-6a15f663d508 https://taper.community/thread/ec72f5e5-39fe-4f0e-b3c9-083b3e99d1c3 https://taper.community/thread/cbf196f2-7a92-460e-b78c-419887d02db2 https://taper.community/thread/3613d8b1-99e9-4991-8c0d-ec96ba7534ad https://taper.community/thread/caf83dd4-7885-4001-acbb-86c31f93d61c https://taper.community/resources/blog/depersonalization-during-withdrawal https://taper.community/thread/fad854f7-f9a4-421d-b60f-bf11aa13a251 https://taper.community/thread/ad155cd9-c4ed-4ea4-8d3b-a0ec12299314 https://taper.community/thread/57d0fb51-6e6e-4517-9d3d-1dd2f2e3880c Catina ❤️
