I have been prescribed Tegretol for Biploar II disorder for 4 months now, and am not seeing any benefits other than it making me physically ill. I'm waiting for my blood test results, and in the meantime have been prescribed Abilify as well, but was told by my doctor to continue Tegretol unless my blood work shows that it is making me sick. Whether it's making me sick or not I really would like to discontinue it seeing as how I am not gaining any benefits from it. What are the risks of discontinuing it cold turkey as opposed to tapering off of the medication?
