Taper...: you could take the 15 mg tab for several nights and then stop. Let your doctor know what you are experiencing.

What are some doctors go to SSRI for treating anxiety disorders? What do you usually try first? I have Remeron (mirtazapine) but not effective really. Thank you.

A member asked:

What will help with remeron (mirtazapine) withdrawl? On 30mg for 6 months, tapered off. Can't sleep, clammy skin, mild anxiety, feels like I have a cold.

A member asked:

Is there such thing as Saphris (asenapine) withdrawal? I am experiencing anxiety upon discontinuing. I know it is a new drug. Will mirtazapine help with anxiety?

A member asked:

Severe anxiety. I cut my mirtazapine a bit, from 22.5 to 18.75. I feel agitated. I am also on Lexapro 10 and Clonazepam 0.75 x 2 and PRN 0.5. Any idea is this agitation from anxiety? From benzo interdose withdrawal? Not enough Lexapro? Too much AD?

A member asked:

Hi, currently I am two weeks off mirtazapine and the withdrawals are bad. Sweating, anxiety, shortness of breath, nausea. Is it safe to reinstate?
