text: has anyone ever stopped taking limictal cold turkey? i have bipolar disorder, and lately i've been feeling as if the lamictal (400mg) a day is doing more harm than good.  i want off it, and i'll be by myself this weekend, so i won't have to worry about withdrawls hurting anyone else.  i guess i figured that i would stop today.  anyone had any experiences with this? i too have been diagnosed as bi-polar.  i would strongly suggest you stay on the med. unless your dr. tells you otherwise.  i have gone the same rout as you are suggesting and it always leads to getting "deeper in the hole".  all his best,  jimmy
