Fellow Mirtazapine taper. From 30mg now down to 6mg. Has taken a few years. Wondering your strategy of coming off two meds at same time?

Lexapro | Klonopin | Mirtazapine — 6mg — 4 years — actively tapering | with clinician

I nearly lost my life to serotonin syndrome. I am trying to get rid of serotonin meds.
