I have been taking epilim regularly since 2007 with one short break. I asked my pyschiatrist who I see yearly About or changing meds but she was reluctant too until next july.
I decided in December that I would reduce the daily dose by 100 mg for a month and see how I go. I noticed a slight difference in first few days but none now. I reduced from 700mg daily to 600 mg daily I was thinking to continue this way to next July.

Can I ask why you want to reduce your epilim? Do you have a GP who you can talk to about this if your pdoc is not listening to you? Thinking of you

My Gp always want me to discuss any thing about meds with the pyschiatrist and my pysch didn't think it is right time to change to another med.
She says my dose is therapeutic As long as I am a symptomatic or stable mood |

If you are asymptomatic and in a stable mood why would you want to reduce the dose? If it ain't broke don't fix it is my motto.

I am just tired of the chronicity of it. I will talk to my Gp about it in a couple of weeks when I go for a general check up

I know it really sucks to have to take tablets every single day but sometimes to feel stable and OK you just have too.. like a diabetic has to rely on insulin every day.. in a way we are no different - it's just what we sometimes have to do.. thinking of you
