I take abilify and I keep hearing that I’ll be fine I’m on 15mgs . Last night I took my lowest dose of lamictal 35mgd and tonight might take 15mgs and then stop it completely to see what happens my only fear is that I’ll get depressed or hurt my brain in some way
I don’t really do that unless I have permission with my doctor. I just wouldn’t recommend it. There’s a reason you are on it. And if you are having difficulties you should call him/her and be seen right away.

You will go throw a awful widhral.
If you think it’s a good idea take half of your dose for 2 3 weeks, then 1/3 for 2 3 weeks then 1/3 dose every two days or 12/24 interval.
The best would be to ask your pdoc, and do cognitive therapy.
A little piece of advice is that when you want to quit your meds ppl are usually not thinking straight and are not stable.I’ve learn that the hard way, you don’t need to do that

Quitting your mood stabilizer without consulting with your doctor could worsen your symptoms and destabilize you, give you unnecessary withdrawals, and give your doctor good reason not to trust your ability to make your own decisions regarding your treatment in the future. It’s a very bad decision. If you want to quit lamictal, at least talk with your doctor about it first.

You’re in control of your own body, if you want to quit a medication the doctors will comply. Just tell them that you won’t continue with the drug and you want to be weened.
