Hi all!

I have been on lithium for a couple of years, up to 1,050 mg. I am not happy with it, it's making me stupid, but I have tried the other ones (Depakote and Lamictal), and the side effects are terrible.

I'm not convinced that my diagnosis is accurate, so I plan to go off them without talking to my pdoc (you all know what he'll say). Does anyone have experience of tapering? I was planning to skip my pm dose for a few weeks, and then skip every other day for two weeks, then every three days for a week.

Has anyone done this? Any thoughts other than no, talk with your pdoc?

Thanks in advance.
