Hi
I am slowly coming off Tegretol Retard and am reducing by 200mg every three months. I went from 800mg to 600mg and am now on 400mg. I have been fine apart from some initial spaciness and a touch more anxiety. I can sleep ok, feel lighter but sometimes feel unnecessarily anxious in the pit of my stomach. I believe it's worth it and feel much better in general. My psychiatrist wants me completely off it in six months. I am on 800mg of Sulpiride and 400mg of Lamotrigine so this probably helps too. Since I have Bipolar 2 I need it though.
Good luck
