      Has anyone been on mirtazapine and got off it? Did you have any problems? I have currently cut from 15mg to 11mg.

      Hi Bill, I was on Mirtazapine for years but read that it makes tinnitus worse so got off it. I found it ok to get off.

      At one point I was very depressed so tried going back on it but found it sent my tinnitus INSANE. That was over a year ago I think. Glad I stayed off it m.

      Mirtazapine is a good choice to get sleep at night.
      Nothing specific bad or good for tinnitus....

      I have been on 15mg Mirtazapine and tapered down to 11.25mg and feel bad. Has anyone successfully got off this crap?

      On a Facebook Mirtazapine page people had many problems with it and say you have to do a liquid taper?

      I got off this and can tell only good experiences about mirta.
      It didn't affect my t at all but helped me to sleep. It might help for depression.

      I would just taper off slowly.

      @bob bauer, I was given mirtazapine for sleep but never took it. But I've taken clonazapan twice, once years ago and again in May when my T started. Both times I got off by liquid taper and never had any withdrawal symptoms.

      Ah ok, I wouldn't do it, when it helps. Even if its tempting. Never touch a running system.

      Doing a slow liquid taper to get off mirtazapine. Do you think if I taper slowly the tinnitus will not get worse?

      I'm trying to taper the remeron, but it's next to impossible, now my ringing has exploded. I'm hearing hissing, beeping and everything. I just want to die.

      Tapering slow is ideal, when on these meds. It gives your body/mind to slowly and gradually adjust and try to do without the meds you are feeding it. Withdrawls can come, but a slow taper is a good idea.
