Hi - no real withdrawal effects. 30 mg I believe is considered a fairly low dose and the mechanism of this med is supposed to be very different than more conventional epilepsy meds. However, the long and short of it is as first line guinea pig, I gave consent to follow the study's protocol. Have an appt with my dr next week and I'll mention it.

This is the studies protocol

Ignore last sentence.

Scary episode on vacation in late June. Rare mistake of taking all epilepsy at midnight, then again at 7 am. Didn't realize it until I started feeling really weird. Got off couch and was absolutely impossible to walk a straight line. Lasted 3 hours. Kept calling the 24 hour trial emergency line but no one answered (it was Sunday). Very disturbing and scary. I skipped Sunday night's meds.
