I came off it over 4 days under Dr's supervision.

I felt like I had a TERRIBLE case of flu. Except no vomiting or diarheah (sorry I can never spell that!) That was all. I felt bad, but the neuro said it would be ok. The achy body, headache, flu-like feelings lasted a few days, then all was ok.

I felt so much better after that stuff left my body - but it did take a couple months for my head to clear.

They switched me to Topomax, and I've never looked back. It's been much better for me!!

Good luck with this.
