I'm doing well in managing my depression etc symptoms, and with the support and approval of my treatment team, I've begun reducing the dose of my mirtazapine. Am currently down from 30mg every day, as of the past 4 years, to now 15 and 30 mg on alternate days, with a view to 15mg every day come Friday. We'll see.

I'm managing pretty well so far.

To start with I felt fine, although my mind was very fast. Then a couple of weeks or so in I had really severe dizziness, and had to take a week off work. Now I'm feeling vulnerable and a bit more paranoid than my baseline. But I'm containing it safely.

Anyone else have bad dizziness with dose reduction or withdrawal?

Hi achingheart,

I have been on remeron for a long time and I am still on it so from personal experience I couldn't tell you. I have heard that a lot of people do have dizziness as a with draw symptom along with anxiety and paranoia. If you are experiencing paranoia you should also let your pdoc know as this could also be from something else like maybe the fact of being off work and then going back, this can also be from with draw. I'm not a professional but I guess I have never really heard of someone being bounced back and forth from 15 and 30 mg like that. I have only seen where maybe every other day you might take the same dose and once you are stabilized with that dose then do the same thing with the lower dose.
