My docs refused to do it so I did it myself by lowering my dose to one pill instead of three and taking lots of calcium and magnesium and B vitamins every day. It was difficult. There were days I didn't sleep before I went back to sleeping again...I am bipolar I. Unfortunately a manic episode caused me to have to go back on my meds again this spring. Depakote and Seroquel. I don't recommend doing this if you can get a doctor to ever lower something.
