Decreasing dose Trokendi XR - Side effects?

Wed, 09/16/2015 - 11:49

Hello everyone, I'm new here, was diagnosed with epilepsy 1 year ago.  Have been on Trokendi XR 200mg, but due to continuing side effects (lingering mind fog, drowsiness), my neurologist agreed to decrease my dosage to 150mg and hopefully eventually to 100mg.  I'm on day 2 of my 150mg dose, and I'm experiencing the jitters and moodiness that seem almost as bad as when I was going through the ramp-up phase a year ago!!

Has anyone else gone through transitioning/weaning their dosage down with this medication?

Thanks in advance for any feedback,

Lisa
