How to Stop Taking Trileptal: Your doctor should be recommending that you reduce your dosage by 150-300mg a day every three days, based on the 2 and 9 hour half-lives, if not more slowly than that.
Ok, so I need to figure out when I need to actually stop, which day, and then extrapolate that out. This is precisely when I could use a little medical advice. So actually, I probably have more time that 52 day left. I have 52 600mg pills.
I am taking 600 mg / 1 X per day.
Well here is the proposal:
150 * 5 (days) = 750
300 * 5 = 1500
450 * 5 = 2250
total for those 15 days = 4500 mg
4500 / 600 = 7.5
So I can add 7.5 days to 52… right?
59.5 days remaining of medication.
(Not sure about what to do with that half a day, or how to split the pill into quarters. It’s kinda a funny shape.)
