I am taking mirtazapine from 2014 onwards for anxiety. The Max dose that I took was 22.5 mg and now I'm taking 3.75 mg. I tried stopping it. But then I don't get sleep. What do do? How long can I continue with mirtazapine? I am 53 year old male.

We are not authorised to give medication. You can engage yourself in some form of yoga or relaxation to take care of your stress and anxiety as apparently from your situation it seems you are very anxious. You should also share issues with close friends and pursue your hobbies to buildup your self esteem. Maybe gardening, writing, painting, music etc. If nothing works out you need to consult a qualified counsellor in your area and take their advice.

You can continue the same for long time under psychiatrist supervision. Frequent blood tests are needed to monitor the side effects and efficacy. All the best.
