Weaning off any antidepressant should be slow. My doctor weaned me off Cymbalta way to fast, I started going thru horrible withdrawals. I went back on the dose I was at when my doctor told me to stop. It took about 4 months to wean properly so I wouldn’t go thru any withdrawals

So many doctors hand antidepressants out like candy with little or no understanding of the side effects while taking them or when you want to stop them. 🙁 is your norteiptyline a capsule or a tablet?

They do make remeron tapering strips. Hopefully my insurance covers them.....and hopefully my doctor knows about them

I went back to thr original dose and symptoms were gone within 2 days. Definitely withdrawal issues. Glad I feel better, but it is disturbing how these drugs can do this to you. Ill be sticking with the original dose for a few weeks and then attempting a sow weaning again. Best of luck with the remeron.

That’s how I weaned from cymbalta, taking the beads out. I’m on Remeron now, I want to start weaning but it’s going to be difficult and probably expensive because they are tablets. 🙁
