gene: off mirtazapine, want to taper Prozac

[gene]

hello, 

i was formerly on mirtazapine for 3-4 years, but have been off it since beginning prozac six weeks ago.. question is: is the mirtazapine out of my system, it has a very short half life i am told, and what would be a good taper schedule for the prozac, since i have been on it such a short period of time?

thanks , gene

Welcome, gene.

 

I moved your post to start your Introductions topic.

 

The mirtazapine is out of your system, how do you feel now? Did you have any symptoms when you stopped it?

 

Anyone taking a psychiatric drug for more than a month is at risk for withdrawal syndrome. Here are our Tips for tapering off Prozac (fluoxetine)

am still experiencing insomnia, moods even after stopping mirtazipine six weeks ag.  was cut from 7.5mg  to 0 end of May.  then started on prozac, the mirtazipine may be out of my system, but my brain chemistry is still screwed up. they have tried me on several other anti-depressants for sleep, but have not done well.  Looking for some alternatives to meds.
