Has anyone tapered off of Trileptal?

Or Oxycarbazine, generic name?

I'm experiencing gastric distress :-)
Not sure if it's related

Thanks anybody, everybody

Before I was on it this time, I was on it for a time and then taken off...if I remember correctly, the taper was fast, like 300mgs off every week or something.

Thanks. The stomach upset appears to be unrelated. I am struggling with the low dose taper I am on. Very teary.

sorry about the taper issues. Sometimes it helps to go slow(er), especially if problems that maybe the drugs had been making more manageable pop up.

Just a suggestion.

I think I will stop halfway for now until I stabilize. And yes, situational depression.
