| stop =
* Gradually reduce dosage of fluoxetine to a maximum of 20 mg/ day, when this dosage is > 20 mg/day.
* When a dosage of 20 mg/day is reached, stop administration.
| start =
No wash-out period is needed.
* '''Day 1:''' start mirtazapine the next day in low dosage of 15 mg/day for one week.
* '''Day 8:''' increase dosage of mirtazapine to normal, 30 mg/day.
| info =
* Fluoxetine has a very long elimination time; phasing out fluoxetine is therefore not necessary. }}
