An Overview of Remeron Withdrawal
Stopping
Remeron® (
mirtazapine) abruptly can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Although the manufacturer does not warn about the possibility of withdrawal, symptoms may still occur.
Symptoms of Withdrawal From Remeron
Withdrawal symptoms associated with
antidepressants, including Remeron, can include:
In most people, these symptoms improve with time, without the need for any treatment. In fact, because Remeron stays in your blood for such a long time after you stop taking it, the drug may be less likely to cause withdrawals compared to other
depression medications.
Limiting Withdrawal Symptoms
If you are going to be taken off of this medication, your healthcare provider may decide to wean you off slowly to minimize the chances of withdrawal symptoms from occurring.
If withdrawal symptoms do occur, your healthcare provider may return you to your previous
Remeron dosage and then wean you off the medication even more gradually.
