Hi @Rena! Nice to have you here....welcome. How is your current taper going? Are you reducing by no more than 10% each month from the previous month's dose? It's usually best to taper only one drug at a time, so when you feel stable enough after your Mirtazapine taper you can tackle your other drug. You can plan your taper using the Taper Plan feature. We look forward to supporting you on your tapering and healing journey! Feel free to welcome new members as they join and offer some support when you're able to. Catina 💜

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 16.64 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Synthroid - 25 mcg

Welcome. 😊 I'm on zoloft too. Please just remember to taper slowly. I had to do a strong taper (from 75 to 25 mg) and I had a rough time, so the slower the better. You'll do it 😊
