Hi, I'm Tony2026

Hi @Tony2026, welcome to Taper Community! I'm really sorry to hear about your negative reaction to Mirtazapine. Since you've only been on it three weeks, you may not have to taper as slowly as a long-term user, but some sort of taper will help you get off without it causing even more issues for you. To be on the safe side, you could try a 10% reduction and see how you do with that. If you feel okay, then you could try a larger reduction in a couple weeks. They key is to look out for any symptoms and slow things down if you need to. Wishing you the best. Let us know how things go with your taper! Catina 💜

Hi Tony, You're in a very rare and envious position of only being on this shit for 3 weeks so it hasn't got it's claws into you yet I would taper off as quick as f*@@ing possible. If you taper over months, that's still additional months of mind manipulation that you still might suffer tough WD symptoms from. I would go down to 7.5mg right now and hold for a week, 3.75 for a week, then off. You might feel crap with anxiety etc, but you're just delaying what you'll go through anyway in months time if you do a longer taper. No matter how shit you feel, just thank your lucky stars that it's your body's way of telling you it's healing and you got lucky. I wish i was in your position. Also, why were you put on 30mg from the off? It should have been 15mg to start and only increasing if absolutely required.
