Stopping Anti-Depressant cold turkey with no issues

I was on Mirtazapine since Sep. 8, 2009. I moved from 30mg to 45mg about 1 and 1/2 weeks ago. But since Oct. 31, 2009 I've been completely off the Mirtazapine (Remeron) and haven't really noticed any issues. Was I on it for such a short time that it doesn't matter that I just quit it cold turkey? I am 25 years old, male, and when the Mental Health Services doctors asked me how I was doing on the med, I told them that I felt neither positive or negative from it.
BTW, the reason I stopped was cuz on Oct. 30th I was called and told that my Liver Function tests were abnormal, so I stopped all my supplements, multi-vitamin, and the anti-depressant (just in case).
Good for you. Maybe it
Good for you.
Maybe it wasn't on your body long enought.
It can cause headaches, agitation e.t.c
I was on Remeron for a few
I was on Remeron for a few months and had no problem stopping it either.
What's going on with your LFTs?
You are having such a tough year with your health.
Thanks for letting me know
Thanks for letting me know you were able to quit it too. I actually wanted to give Pristiq a try, but I don't know if they'll put me on it. I think if I can't try that, then I'll just be on no anti-depressant as I'm not sure it affected me one way or another.
