Did you stop suddenly from 2 mg? Is it the anxiety/depression that is worse, or tinnitus, or sleep? Or all?

Probably just need time to adjust to not having it in your system. Or, who knows, maybe it was actually helping.
@RunningMan sleep, but that leads into anxiety and T. I stopped from 2mg.
I might try every other night and see if it helps.
DO NOT DO EVERY OTHER NIGHT YOU WILL GO INTO INTERDOSE WITHDRAWAL! your cns is heavily sensitized atm. you will suffer! if you want to reinstate, you still have time, taper should be no more than 10% of your current dose, then you hold for a month before another reduction. or you could stay off without reinstatement!
Guess I am back to trying to taper slowly. Not sure how many more times I can bust this pill apart, and almost impossible to get help from my pcp on this.
Took 2mg last night and T back to normal. Every time I stop I can't sleep, t gets louder, and I have more thoughts of death. Even though at such a low dose it's not supposed to affect such things... ugh... BS
You see, they already tricked you with their lies, like they tricked me. there is no such thing as "such a low dose". what you are taking is more dangerous and habit forming than a street drug. do a fast taper if you like. Dont cold turkey!
I think the low dose might be doing something for you. It did the same for me when I was on it. Yes, not to be taken every other day. That would be bad.
@BB23 yes I didn't know any better when this entire thing started. I couldn't sleep I was suicidal, mirt did help me in a way. Now I can't get off of it. I will try a slower taper, I had only been doing 2mg for 2 weeks. Not sure how will cut lower than that. It's funny I am ok for about 3 days or so then this is starts.
Mirt is tricky since it acts on different receptors depending on the dose. It doesn't seem like a typical "taper down" type of drug.
Stuff is horrible... i really want to get off of it, but I guess I will have to move slower. Coming off makes my T louder, cant sleep right, I start getting horribly emotional and have S thoughts. Ugh. These drugs! I took it out of desperation.. and here we are...
@Tryn2BHopeful - the 3 days after my last dose. Did it twice. We're always my best days. Hang in there your body should re- regulate. Would be nice if they had drugs for T it would fix the D not the other way around.
@Tryn2BHopeful - i discussed with many a doctor. They have prescribed to many people. At 2 mg it is a really low dose. I'm not a doctor but many people who take 15mg for a very long time do not get down to as low as 2 mg before getting off. I ordered 1mg tablets for my taper. They all told me not necessary at the low a dose. Better to be careful but I think no need to worry too much at that dose.
@4Grace I agree that's a pretty low dose, maybe its just the lack of sleep then... it must be doing something at even that low dose. Started taking it again and I feel "fine" Maybe its just placebo, I don't know. Gonna give myself more time on 2mg before trying to taper lower. So tired of this shit.
