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?

See below: When you begin or stop a drug like Saphris (asenapine) that affects your clarity of thought, it is possible to experience unpleasant side effects like anxiety and changes in sleep and eating. Mirtazepine has had mixed results, but even if it does work for you, the effect would not be immediate - you'd need take it for weeks. Contact your doc about other, short-term options - e.g., a Klonopin dose increase?

I took remeron pen for 6 months 15mg. For the last month I've taken 30mg tablets every day. My new doctor took me off that without weening and I am having severe withdrawal symptoms. Anxiety etc. I have enough to take 15mg for another 2 months. How should
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?
