Hi community! I am looking for support/recommendations and input regarding tapering of mirtazapine. I have been on mirtazapine15mg since November 2016 for anxiety. I have been doing cbt and lifestyle modifications so my doctor and I have agreed that I am ready to taper from the recommendation. She recommended a too fast taper - so I decided to taper over the next 6 weeks based on a pharmacist's input. Since the tablet comes scored, I can use a pill cutter to cut my doses. I am taking 3/4 tablet of a 15 mg dose so (11.25mg) which is a 25% dose cut. I am on day 2 of the taper and I intend to stay at each cut for at least 2 to 3 weeks before cutting the dose further. Liquid form of the medication isnt possible due to its expensive cost. I would really like some input regarding the 25% dose cuts and if someone has done this too?? Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
