How To Withdraw From Remeron And Doxepin?

I m taking 30mg of remeron and 150 of doxepin for mainly sleep and anxiety been on a couple of years. I gained 65 pds from remeron which I have now lost. Sometimes the meds work and sometimes not I was thinking of first tapering off remeron then doxepin is that a wise idea I ve been anxiety free but I m no longer under the stress I was before just wondering if it s a good idea to wean off and which one first

Hi it is a good idea to try to wean off. Withdraw Reneron first gradually --alternate days, twice a week, weekly etc. But I think it should be done under supervision of your treating doctor--regards
