I thought seizures were just a potential side effect of taking the drug, not going off it.
My preference would be to withdraw a bit more gradually. But my doc has not responded to a telephone message I left for her, nor has she responded to a refill request filed by my pharmacy a week ago or so. Until she responds to one or the other, continuing with the drug is not an immediate option. I have been thinking alot lately about weaning myself off everything I take so the timing is about right. But I want some idea of what I might anticipate in terms of the side effects of a more rapid withdrawal.
I don't think she puts much credence in the theory that a drug may not work for you again once you've stopped it. I have a vague recollection about having discussed this point with her sometime in the past.
