After severe fatigue at 7.5 mg , weight gain, and no improvement of my anxiety, I’m happy to be getting off mirtazapine and trying something else. My psych said I could just stop taking the 7.5 completely with no taper. I have a slow metabolism and take a long time to taper so I usually do it much slower than my psych says. However, I heard that 3.5 mg is even more sedating than 7.5 so I really don’t want to be halving my 7.5s . I’ve been off it for 24 hours and feel fine but I’m worried the withdrawals are gonna be bad as they have from past medications. However I’ve also only been on this medicine 6-8 weeks. What should I do?

I (21F) have been on 7.5 mg for about 1.5 months for severe anxiety. I’ve noticed a little improvement in anxiety but I’ve been crazy tired and extremely moody. Even my parents asks if I was okay and they have the emotional intelligence of a brick. My boyfriend also mentioned that it seems like this med has changed my personality. Has anyone experienced something similar? I want to get off of it I think:(
