I came off Trileptal 1200mg in one month and experienced tremendous effects within one weeks time. I was confused, disoriented, delusional, abnormal thinking, racing thoughts, and catatonic.I am now trying to come off of it super slow. 6-8months. I come down one quarter of a 150mg a week and will be off completely by April 2007. I am currently at 488mg. I feel very depressed and tired all the time.
