What has your dosing schedule been like?

I started taper a little over 3 weeks ago. I've looked back today and it looks like I went to 2.5 about 10 days ago. (And zero last night).

I feel like a mess but am keeping faith it will end. I'm not really able to do other therapies right now but I think a little more time and I'll be able to exercise, cook, sociale more, etc.

I want off Trileptal too, it's not everyday but I get blurry vision after the morning dose. Doctor said to back off of it but didn't really say to stop it. I have lower dosages I can take but I also think 2 mood stabilizers is a lot better than one. Lamictal I have no interest in changing and am cool with it.

At the moment the rage is gone and I know this is cycling and that it will come back based on the past week and today in that I've went from big rage to empty to big rage to settled out some with side effect of the blurry vision.

The biggest thing that is frustrating is it feels like no one understands (this board always helps A LOT) even though I know it's not fully true. Example on the blurry vision my friend the other day said it was dry eyes and to use eye drops and I almost exploded on her. This is the same friend that awhile back told me her mood was 'hypomanic', I think trying to identify with me but it actually enraged me and I'm still pissed off about it this week. No one without bipolar has the slightest idea what hypo is like, let alone mania or the cycling unless they've been through it. I'm ranting now sorry. Thanks for listening. Do tell me what your taper has been like.
