Tapering from 15mg currently on 7.5mg and suffering with severe insomonia. How can I taper off safely (only tablets) without an oral solution and limited support for the go

Hi Mikey, Welcome to the TC 🙂 Here's a good article to start with: https://taper.community/resources/blog/mirtazapine-withdrawal-symptoms Maybe another member can offer advice on pill cutting, weighing, etc. There's a bunch on this forum!

Zyprexa started at 2.5mg in late April26 — 0.60mg at Nov 2026— actively tapering
Doxepin (Silenor / Sinequan) — started at 2mg in June26 - 0mg at Nov 2026— completed tapering
