Carolin Posted August 24, 2023 Author Posted August 24, 2023 Thank you for the different links. However I don’t understand this topics which concerns my medicine. How should I taper ? I cut my tablet of 150 mg into quarters and then how should I proceed? Sorry it is not clear for me. Could you please write me all the steps I should follow ? Thank you very much. If you cut up a 150mg or 300mg XL/XR tablet into quarters to taper, you will need to take some 3 times a day, as it's become immediate-release bupropion. (We do not recommend tapering this fast, do this at your own risk.) 2022-03.04.2023 : Deanxit 15 mg 03.04 2023 - 19.04.2023 : Stop Deanxit, 19.04.2023 - 30.05.2023 : Mirtazapine 15 mg 30.05.2023 - 08.06.2023 : Mirtazapine 22.5 mg 08.06.2023 - Mirtazapine 30 mg 18.07.2023 - Mirtazapine have no effect on me, I begin to reduce 22.5 mg, 24.07.23 - Mirtazapine 15 mg 08.08.2023 - Mirtazapine 11.25 mg, 08.08.2023 Wellbutrin 150mg 19.08.2023 - Brintellix 5 mg, 25.08.2023 - Wellbutrin, Stopped because no effect, 29.08.2023 - Mirtazapine 7.5 mg 16.09.2023 - Mirtazapine 3.75 mg, 20.09.2023 - Brintellix 7 mg, 28.09.2023 - Brintellix 10 mg 06.10.2023 - Mirtazapine, Stopped, 12.10.2023 - Brintellix 15 mg, 18.10.2023 - Brintellix, Stopped because too many side effects 15.11.2023 - Introducing Rebalance St. John's wort 250 mg Hypericum perforatum L., herba Now : Rebalance 250 mg, Zeller PS : Deanxit is a combination of flupentixol and melitracene.
