Title: IT'S OVER...
Post by Smurf on Sep 16^th, 2003, 1:00pm

It's been 10 days and I seem to be out of this cycle - TG.
It lasted over 8 weeks.

Anyhoo, I'm still taking Verap at 240 mg x 3/day. and Lithium at 300 mg x 2/day.

What's the consensus? Should I stay at this level for 4 full weeks, then taper off?

You could taper back just a little to see what happens....this way you will still have some in your system and can build back up rather quick if you have to.

You should see your doctor to advise you on the way to taper down. I know my doctor had me taper off one med at a time only after a full two weeks with no pain/twitching/anything. But you need for your doc to tell you what he would like. Glad the cycle is over!!!

Are the meds causing you any problems? If not, I'd wait a few more days, or at least do as Jonny suggested.

Should you see you Doc for the answer to your question, please let us know the answer.

Thanks.
