Now I'm curious as heck, so I'm going to call the pharmacy to find out exactly what drug it was that I was taking
It's a drug that you titrate up slowly and you don't cold turkey stop. You shouldn't anyway. You should taper off.

It is also an anti-seizure med. It's really worked for me for migraines. I take 400 mg daily - 200 in the morning and 200 at night.
