Q: Stop taking remeron for panic attacks and anxiety

I used to suffer from panic attacks and anxiety, so bad that i had to be hospitalized twice. My doctors suscribed me remeron so that i could get sleep and heal my anxiety little by little. They promised it would only be a 4 month medication. Somehow as i got better and better they didnīt suspend it though they said i didnt even need to continue my appointments with the psycologist. At my last visit to the psycologist he said that i needed to make an appointment with the psychiatrist so that he can tell me what his decision is on the mirtazapine i was taking.

I was feeling great at the time, and with an stubborn decision, i stopped taking remeron (15mg, have a tablet) on my own without consulting. first week was fine, now my last three days have been awful, i cant get any sleep, i feel nauseous and my anxiety is coming back. I now read the instructions that those are side effects from suspending it bruscally.

My question is should a i go back to taking it even though i have two weeks that i suspended it? Or should i wait to see if these are just momentary effects??

I think that you should restart to continue taking it, but when you go off of it again, you need to make sure and do it gradually, a little at a time. You can break the pill into three in order to decrease the dosage little by little
