Can I stop taking mirtazapine suddenly?

Dear Ask The Doctor: What are the side after stopping mirtazapine?

Dear Chad: It is not wise of stop taking mirtazapine suddenly, even if you feel better. Your depression can return if treatment is stopped too early. You may also experience certain withdrawal symptoms such as fatigue, feeling sick and dizziness. If the drug needs to be stopped, your doctor will withdraw the drug slowly by reducing the dose every few weeks. I hope the information helps, take care.
