I am new to this med, although not the AEDs or mood stabilizers. What are your experiences with it?
I am primarily taking this med to help me wean off of a benzo (valium). I've had a tough time w/ instability, irritability, depression, anxiety, obsessions, ruminations, derealization etc,,..
I have just moved to china, was able to get the med, but have little direction, as the docs know nothing. I basically chose it, due to studies w/ tegretol and benzo WD. Pretty much same med w/ less SEs.
I understand that 600mg is the typical starting dose. Would it be less if simply for withdrawing from another medication?
Target dose? Starting dose? What time do you take it (i know 2 times daily, but morning and night, or morning and afternoon?)?
Thanks for the help,
Brian
