Coming off Sodium Valproate

I stopped taking sodium valproate about three weeks ago after cutting down to half a pill for a few months. I'm a little worried as I've seen a lot said about the possibility of seizures and would like to know how long of not taking it would have me in the clear?

I'm unable to go see a Dr so would really appreciate any advice! 😊

thank you for your reply ~

Unfortunately not as I'm in a foreign country right now.

I'm hoping someone will have had a similar experience and can offer some insight. In the meantime I will keep looking for a doctor who knows this medicine and can speak English.

Thanks again~
