i managed to do the withdraw part i think in a few weeks from large dose to zero. I do remember taking the 'last dose' several times which probably was the last week of that. was hypomanikc then I think, everything felt good. Then uncomfortable. Then manic. I remember a few depressed days somewhere where my energy went to zero. Then it turned back on. I don't know. Other than that I'm never fully stopping an AP again. Unless it's part of a longer term plan and I'm doing great. I think now I probably got on the 'up' side of things when I decided to reduce. I think I remember the plan NOT being to fully stop, just get the dose further down. But I did stop. My judgment etc was not good. And here we are now. I'm in a different world than a few days ago. i still am going to need a lot of sleep short-term. I just got a little more after taking a small dose with normal lamictal this morning.
