Mirtazapine 15 MG taper
I started taking Mirtazapine on March 13 and took it daily, although I missed a couple of doses in March. After missing those doses, I went to the hospital on March 23 because I was feeling really unwell, but they told me everything seemed fine and that I was likely overreacting. At that point, I had been on the medication for about two weeks.
After that, I restarted the medication consistently and stayed on it for about a month. On April 23, I stopped taking it because of the side effects. At the time, I didn’t realize it needed to be tapered gradually, so I stopped abruptly. From April 23 through around May 2, I experienced severe withdrawal symptoms until I eventually went back to the hospital. They prescribed Hydroxyzine, which I took for about two days, but it didn’t really help. I continued struggling with withdrawal symptoms for the rest of the week until I finally restarted mirtazapine on May 8 because the symptoms became too overwhelming.
Now that I’ve been back on it for about five days, I’m realizing I can’t stop suddenly and will likely need a structured tapering plan. Since restarting it, I’ve been having significant chest pain along with ongoing anxiety, high Bp, fluttering chest, nausea sometimes & random rushes of adrenaline
