For some unknown reason I didn't use a compounding pharmacy, I cut my pills myself although I don't recommend that method unless the doctor refuses to a compounding pharmacy or is ordering cuts the user isn't comfortable with.
I started on 1 or 2 mg a day and increased by 2 mg probably every several weeks.
When we decided to stop it I was taking 18 mg a day, a huge amount. The maximum dose is 20 mg a day. I was talking it for seizures but it was of little or no use. If memory serves, which I wouldn’t count on I believe it took me two or more years. While taking it I thought it was affecting my memory & balance but I didn't notice any significant improvement after quitting.
Evie,
you mentioned you dropped from 2 mg to one milligram. If you cut your dose by 50 percent at once that may explain why “it's working anymore.” I wouldn't cut a medication by that much like many doctors recommend.
Good luck,
Jake
