Tapering/stopping

I’ve been prescribed Mirtazapine for postpartum depression/anxiety

I was advised to take 15mg for 2 weeks then upped to 30mg. I’ve now been taking Mirtazapine for a total of 3 weeks. I simply cannot take the tiredness anymore. I have a newborn to look after and cannot wake up to tend to her.

I have 14x 15mg left. How would you taper?

Chances are the tiredness will go away once you are stabilised on 30mg. I felt like I had swallowed an earthquake and had to go back to 15mg.
