As for getting myself off of Trileptal, I had not planned on just stopping it, but rather going down to 150mg for three days or so and then stopping it. I read on another website that tapering off it is generally recommended in 150mg increments.

Funny, since after she said that I went and looked at the prescribing information and found it listed as a possible side effect. Are there any good doctors out there who I can afford??
