> I may try the 3.5. The 7.5 put me to sleep instantly now for 3 nights. I am feeling moderately depressed however but none of the horrible WD symptoms. There never seems a good time to quit. As it takes so long. I thought things were great for me now, but I must travel now and train with jet lag that I dread. I guess I'm going to continue with micro doses the rest of this week and study some more on this matter and talk to another Psych Doc. I may get a few sleeping pills for the jetlag thing. I stayed busy today and that helps some, but did get into a conflict with my wife who wanted to take a road trip for the 4th and I just am not up to it. I preferred to putz around the house and tinker with stuff at my own pace and leasiure. She eventually said she understood but with depression, like addiction - people dont understand it unless youve had it. Anyway appreciate the suggestions and hang tough if youre up to it.
Caustin,When I used to travel I would take melatonin for the jet lag, with good results. I understand your home conflict - the same happens with me. People who are out don't understand.
Recently I found that my problem is not only mirtazapine, but also risperidone and... alcohol. It's funny, but I didn't notice it, because I have been drinking almost nothing the last 2 years.
Regards,
Bob
