Thanks Raspberry. How has lamictal done for you? I'm hoping 300 is good for me.
Ask your doctor about a safe taper off the Gab. 10-20% every 2 weeks I think is the best way and I've read a lot about that. That is how I went from 3mg of risperdal down to 1mg. And exercise and a regular sleep routine. Lol, I then messed up by totally stopping it from the 1mg, but now am going to try .5 and see how that goes. One dose helped me last night, and I only took .25 actually. Which is a tiny dose but I say tiny doses is what we should be taking. I hadn't taken any for a week before that, and was getting unhinged. Docs often way over prescribe, I think. And it impairs our ability to live 'normal' as we can, and hurts our physical bodies too. So the smallest theurapeutic dose is the way to go. One of the many benefits to that is coming off of something gets a lot easier then.

I wish you good luck and do talk to your MD on the Gab. And never forget how far exercise, nutrition, and sleep hygiene can take you and help manage your health.
