Hello! I've now managed to come off it but had disastrous return of my symptoms to start with. I have had patchy support from the hospital. Its worth asking for a second opinion and trying some different drugs to find which suits you. I'm now on Prozac and feeling like myself for the first time in 8 months. I have experienced prozac withdrawal in the past and it was nothing at all as hard as mirtazapine. For me, mirtazapine helped a lot but made me too sleepy. Fearing for my job I asked for different meds but was told to come off it. My main turning point was when I was referred to the consultant instead of the other guy at hospital, he actually listened to me. Try to get an appointment with someone good. It takes months but its worth the wait. Now I'm beginning to stabilize I can concentrate on the real job of healing myself, and then come off the drugs when i am ready. Good luck!
