At Alternative to Meds Center, we can help a person struggling with mirtazapine dependence or mirtazapine side effects. Often, mirtazapine side effects can become intolerable and this can lead to the decision to stop taking mirtazapine. This is not at all uncommon regarding Remeron side effects.
In some cases, the person’s original symptoms were not helped by the medication, so while these are still present, there is the additional burden of Remeron withdrawal symptoms. Mirtazapine withdrawal can be difficult and could be better managed by inpatient care in a facility equipped to provide withdrawal help, as well as alleviate the original symptoms of distress.
Our protocols at Alternative to Meds Center are time-tested over more than a decade. Each client’s program is individually designed and carefully monitored throughout the mirtazapine withdrawal process to ensure the maximum safety and comfort of the client. If a client has not yet begun taking a medication, there are Remeron alternative treatments that could be considered.
Alternative to Meds Center offers withdrawal help protocols that the most recent DSA revisions have begun to include in their diagnostic criteria. Best practices as delineated therein, now require the elimination of possible physical, pathological, or environmentally linked or causative factors before turning to a prescription drug. This is a sound protocol, but, we have observed, it has not consistently or widely used in general medical or psychiatric practice. We are happy to see these protocols which have been in use at Alternative to Meds Center for well over 12 years, now becoming more mainstream.
Many people have been prescribed antidepressants whose depression, insomnia, or anxiety could have possibly been treated without drugs, had the investigative work been done prior to choosing prescription drugs as the first-line treatment.
Nonetheless, the wheels of progress sometimes turn slowly. Our clinical experience informs us that a significant number, perhaps even a majority, may be suffering from an unnecessary over-prescription of medication that followed a substandard or completely absent investigation of root causes for their symptoms.
Oddly enough, many persons who had an addiction problem to street drugs are given Remeron by a drug treatment program, oftentimes rather indiscriminately. We have seen many patients that struggle from reported mirtazapine dependence or Remeron addiction following such treatment decisions.
We truly feel that reservation of a psychiatric diagnosis for drug addicts should be an operating guideline, at least until the person has had a period of time abstaining from their drug of choice and implementing a healthy diet and behavioral modalities and other helpful remedies. Stopping mirtazapine or Remeron safely would be an important segment of that process and should be done gently and safely.
You are invited to contact us at Alternative to Meds Center to examine more closely how we provide a safe mirtazapine taper program, in our comfortable, relaxed, and beautiful facility, under the supervision of medical staff and highly trained practitioners. Using an integrative approach, more comprehensive investigative steps are taken so we can show each client diversified points that need correcting either psychodynamically, nutritionally or that may respond to neurotoxic body burden removal, and other important clinically relevant and science-based tools. There is much more information Alternative to Meds Center can provide to you on request concerning Remeron withdrawal.
