Mirtazapine is fine, you need to taper and stop zolpidem which is addictive and carries long term risks. Discuss with your psychiatrist. All the best.

You cannot and must not quit medication just like that. It has to be supported by your doctor always.

Dear Imityaz,
Instead of mirtazapine and its dose, you need to learn a non medical management of stress. Interviews are normal daytoday stress like exams. You will be facing them often. It does not need mirtazapine. Mirtazapine is not a sedative to make you sleep better. Sedation is a side effect of mirtazapine.
Please learn Jacobson's deep muscle relaxation exercise or yoga/pranayama or meditation or anything your family members ask you to practice.

Hi lybrate-user
based on the limited information provided by you, it is not clear whether mirtazapine was the first medicine given to you after you were diagnosed with ocd or it was started after trial of other medications. How were you doing/improvement over mirtazapine? It's always best to cross taper a psychotropic medication rather than stopping abruptly which may otherwise lead to drug withdrawal/loss of effect. It's possible for mirtazapine withdrawal to continue up to 6-8 weeks. For t...more

You cannot calculate weight gain on the basis of dosage or when you restarted. Neither should you stop or restart medication without the doctor's consent and consultation. It is, in fact, dangerous. The weight gain is a side effect but at least the depression gets taken care of. Anyway, do talk to the doctor about your concerns but do not self-regulate the medication at any cost. Additionally, you can follow some of these instructions, which includes exercise mandatorily: You must go and meet wi...more
