Day one off meds

Hi lance. 

I think you will be happier when you are off the Mirtazapine. Been there done that. I am so glad so see you doing better. I too felt better and thought clearer off the meds but it wasn't clear sailling. I had to use a very small amount of valium on a few days to get over the hump. So if you back slide a bit please don't worry. Remember baby steps. A very possitive step. Congradulations.

Well in light of how I have been doing and my recent lifestyle changes (quiting smoking, working out and a better diet and supplements) My doctor and I thought it would be okay to wean off mirtazapine. Though it's not firstline for anxiety and was mainly for depression, I think it's an important step. It made me sleep way to hard and it was hard waking up in the morning.

I'm pretty happy about this. I would much rather deal with my issues than to medicate. I'm doing the work to move forward. I only wanted to rely on meds to stabilize myself, so I could be at a point where I could move on. I'M THERE!

I'm being very cautious to monitor my moods and pay attention to how I'm doing. This is a positive step
