Hi Maxime.

I think you can just yank it.If you don't mind performing an extended taper, you have nothing to lose.
If I decide to go off of it this week, I intend to drop from 600mg to 300mg for a few days and then discontinue it. I might not even bother doing that. Of course, this would not be the right thing to do if you are prone to seizures.
