Currently tapering off right now. I've been on as high as 45mg but it really wrecked my sleep. Back down to 30 and that seemed like the sweet spot for about a year. Didn't have any withdrawls going down in dose from 45 to 30. But I'm ready to come off for good. I've been shaving the pills down with a razor blade and weighing each pill to be more precise. Going from 30mg all the way to 2.5mg by increments of 5-ish mgs. I've got about 8-10 pills per taper ready to go. I'm hoping to be totally free from Mirtazepine in about 60-70 days. I got off Lexapro years ago with a much less scientific approach. I'd basically go cold turkey for as long as I could stand it, take a pill and then try to beat that previous streak without meds. Then I cut the pills in half and tried to do the same thing again until one day I stopped having withdrawl symptoms. Probably took about 5 weeks to completely come off.

This is amazing. I saw the video when you were coming off mirtazapine and you look soooo much better now. Congratulations! And starting a degree! Brilliant!!!

You’re doing awesome man. Education is a great way to spend your early recovery. Best of luck with the degree. ☝️

3 years mirt free! It does get better. Hang in there

Mild exercise, stretching, breathing exercises yoga and meditation helps me. I combine this with Ashwaganda in the mornings and Valerian root drops whenever Im anxious. Google low histamine diet. During withdrawal I avoided high histamine foods.

I'm 10 days in and I think it's important to be positive about the experience. If you believe or fear withdrawal I believe you can manifest worse symptoms. With all that being said I'm exhausted and it's a journey for sure but I think focusing on good habits will speed it up.

How long were you on mirtazapine 30 mg ?? Were you able to maintain a corporate job while on this medication ??

Some people commit suicide so can’t say u won’t die???? Try tryptophan while tapering

I really think these drugs put you through hell to show you that your "original issues" aren't that bad then you are happy after you come off the hell drugs after realizing how much worse it can be.

Good for you, didn't give up..plants, fruits are here for us to use..nothing is by accident..use them in moderation as intended, not abuse and they will do what they are supposed to do..the governments are outlawing nature itself!..cant do that, shouldn't do that..its not our place to do that

They had me on 1mg of lorazepam for 4 months I'm on mirtazpine just because they stopped it cold turkey and the withdrawals are killing me I've been on it for 3 weeks and they want to switch my meds because I'm always anxious 24/7 is this a good idea or not how hard is it to stop this Med I can't get through this I don't know what to do

I am on 7.5 for 3 weeks feel good before taking this I couldn't do anything like work so this is helping

Please I’ve been taking this 15 mg for 25 years I’m now so upset no one told me this would be so difficult. 😢I’m taking 7.5 on Friday and Tuesdays for 6 months and just a few days ago I’m having such weird withdrawal. I’m doing 10% a month. I have no liquid taper. I’m so scared

meditation can make you feel withdrawn and it can have negative side affects that people link to cannabis. walking is my favourite form of meditation.

are you using a herb vaporiser get an xmax v3 pro

if you change how you think you can stop the anxiety with no medication

your honesty is refreshing

What you mention about finding it easier to switch off resonates. I am prescribed for nerve pain and although I cant fully say it relieves physical pain, it does help my mind switch off from what im feeling/ restless sensations. I too have struggled with anxiety and found strains containing high amounts of limonene (dominant terpene) increase my anxiety nearly every time. Ive found that strains containing myrcene seem to suit me well. Not only do they help my mind switch off, I feel calm and balanced overall. (Imagine a warm hug) Its taken a little while to work out strength/ terpene profiles and doses but I feel as if ive made progress. Good luck with your journey.

Took that shit for 2 days, couldn't tolerate it. Felt like a zombie, mouth was dry all day....and this was just 2 days! Glad I didn't continue even though the doctor insisted.

Do you have a list of foods you'll be eating? I'm not keen on chicken too much. Especially from the supermarket. I'd like to give this diet a try.

So sorry

What’s happening you are still healing from benzos. You probably have protractive withdrawals. Just hang in there

Imagine if you were on them for 35+years!!! What would you do???

How are you now?

Has anyone else had terrible allergy issues after getting off this? My eyes & skin & throat just went crazy. Had to go back on it because of that. I was on it for 4 years.

Congratulations for coming off your meds! I have just been prescribed this and have decided not to take it. Thank you ❤🫶🏻❤️

CPTSD by Pete walker is worth a read. Sorry to hear of your frustration and pain. I’ve lost hope many times trying what it seems to be an endless journey of not feeling right. Or when it does it’s very fleeting

❤ I get the “you seem so calm” comment all the time. For me, it’s a sense of dissociation…. That’s what’s generating that sense of calm. It’s not pleasant and often find it difficult to be present and in the moment. It’s so refreshing to hear a real take on mental illness. I feel like people don’t really get it. Wish you well on your recovery. I’ll have to make a video on my journey All the best Marc

Thank you for being real and honest 🙇‍♀️

Drink 8 ice cold bottles of water a day and that will clear up that neck and head pressure . Drink a good amount in the morning to get your day started right. Make sure the water is very cold, that will do wonders for your fatigue as well. Try it, and let me know how you feel . It was life changing for me , I made a full recovery off 4 Mg’s of Xanax Dailey use for 6 months . I recovered fully in 11 months. Try the ice cold water thing, it will make your brain hurt a lot less. Take care bud

❤

Are you better from the withdrawal?

going from 30 to 15 mg made my heart race for 2 weeks.

I was tampered off cybalta and at 30 mg they told me to stop taking it because they don't provide lower dosages I been having bad heachahes it's been a week now but am hoping by 6 weeks or 8 weeks I will be better update you guys

Wow bro we've been on all the same meds. Thanks for sharing

Youre encouraging me to move to do something positive today. I have major anxiety along with / meds side effects /other health issues. Its strangly refreshing to see someone reacting how i react and see it from an outsider view. Please keep making video's showing your recovery. Massive well done. My turn now I need to stabilise so I can work again x

Really loved this video thank you!

How are you?

How long did you taper mirtazapine? I’m super scared I’ve been on 30mg for 3 months and I have a feeling I won’t sleep naturally anymore.

Was on 15mg for the past 2 years to deal with my anxiety, which was extremely bad but felt it was time to stop. From start of Nov I dropped from 15 to 7.5 then in Dec dropped to 3.75 etc til I was down to about 1.5 then stopped. Been 2 weeks so far an only for a day or 2 I felt queasy but honestly I feel a hundred times better, more energy I'm exercising again eating less an now I'm 10Ib lighter. All the best to everyone🎉

Dr. Chris Palmer and J.B.Peterson recently talked about amazing mental health results on the ketogenic and all meat diets. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Hi mate, I’ve found your videos so helpful. I got started on mirtaz after 1 week of panic attacks and tried coming off because it didn’t help after 5 under doctors guidance and suffered terribly, still not got rid of withdrawals even after reinstatement. So I wanted to ask; how did you taper from 15 to 7.5? As I tried doing the half dose and after three days I had severe withdrawals and akasthesia symptoms, and from all the communities, you really bring me hope I can recover from this mistake.

I am EXACTLY in the same spot that youre in. I am so proud of you!

That sounds really torturous.. i have TERRIBLY dark, suicidal thoughts when I withdraw off Pregablin.. and Diazipam was the same.. I found it really scary as My logical mind knew it was extreme Dysphoria from prescription drug withdrawal, but my intrusive thoughts felt very hard to overcome.So much so, I've had to pause my pregabline reductions.. Ive managed to hald it from 300 x2 down to 150mg

It seems so taboo to admit these things but I had serious intrusive thoughts all of last week; and just losing my shit over the smallest thing. Feeling extremely tearful/upset. Essentially have been drinking every day for two/three years and been on zops for 5 years. I ran out last week and I stopped alcohol cold turkey. I'm over the worst of any alcohol withdrawal now but I shall have to seek better coping mechanisms now that I don't have booze to calm me down. It is very very difficult and GPs haven't been helpful at all. I find they just give out the usual platitudes and signposting to CBT/talking therapy and like to push the responsibility elsewhere. I'm just so done with feeling s**t and depressed. I feel exhausted from researching and trying to fix myself. Thank you for posting your vids. They are very relatable and helpful

Great to see you back I'd love to try a juice cleanse for healing. I'm currently having several health issues in relation to zopiclone/antihistamine use. I wondered whether you'd try animal/carnivore based diets for healing. It seems quite the fad atm but I have seen some people reverse autoimmune conditions. If I had the money I would try and see a natural doctor. Unfortunately as I'm unemployed that won't happen yet and it will have to be trial and error btw; I'm a medical cannabis patient now. I was given quite a strong oil but going to ask for a more balanced strain as my tolerance to THC is very low. Would be good to see an update! I hope your healing really begins soon and that you're keeping well

Happy for you mate
