I really hope it helps. This is my 5th taper attempt, and by far the most difficult. Sometimes it's almost funny how out of my mind i am from it.
I've been reading that some very prominent rehab facilities are using it more commonly, apparently 1 called Silver Springs.
I spoke with the psychiatrist, and he said if the taper is really difficult, to give it a go.
Now I wonder the dosage? He said 500mgs ER. I'd like to know what they use at silver springs. I read another study saying 750mgs.
So not sure how much. We'll see how/if I can tolerate the 500mgs.
Like i said, i tried the trileptal, and it just made me and my withdrawal symptoms worse.
I've taken depakote before (chronic migraines), so i'm quite familiar w/ it. And I had taken much higher than 500mgs before.
