Hi,

Yes I know, lucky me, please don't hate me

Has anyone ever been fortunate to decrease their dose albeit gradually? And if so, have you had side effects and can you describe them?

Post MVD (a long time ago in 94) I was suddenly cold turkey after only 1 day prior being on 2200mg. This was a slightly different scenario being full of painkillers etc, and then I had breakthru so had to return to meds etc.

I'm currently post surgery (cryo) & have been having problems with gradually decreasing. My latest med appmt has resulted in being told to increase slightly and withdraw far more slowly (have been dropping 200mg weekly from 1400mg) as there is suspicion that withdrawal symptoms are playing their part.

I hope this is making sense.
