ROFL! there is no good reason for anyone to "bow to" anything or anyone.

I love you , Jenn. You give excellent advice!

I feel Jennifer has given perfectly great advice!
I agree with her; it's, at least partly,about what feels comfortable to you, Bizi!

(I don't know if people without seizure disorders are apt to have seizures from discontinuing Lamictal? I tend to think that particular warning might be for people using Lamictal for various seizure disorders? I am not a doctor. Maybe ask your doctor about the seizure risk?)

It's important that you feel safe in tapering the med. Unless it's dangerous , somehow, to not go more slowly, I'd think she might slow it down to help you to feel more comfortable with the changes being made.

Make your feelings/concerns known to her.
