Oh dear. If you start taking too much weaning off is torture. Maybe mine was taken too quickly as I was in a hospital setting to guard against seizures. Also the new drug I'm on Optiam may be hard to get used to. Not sure yet.

Aptiam is a form of carbamazepine was not aware it was for pain. I take it for seizures. Yes he was an neuroligist and I went to an epilepsy center.
