Not that I know of.: Seroquel is an anti-psychotic medication which is also a major tranquilizer. Mirtazapine is an atypical antidepressant but is often used as a sleep aid and appetite stimulant. These medications when discontinued , can unmask an existing anxiety. See your psychiatrist for help.

Unlikely: If you've been off mirtazapine for 2 weeks and felt fine, you shouldn't experience any withdrawal going forwards. I hope you continue to do well.
