I feel like the little engine right now. I've been off my meds completely since friday, and the effects of my meds coming out of my system is starting to take it's effects on me. I'm starting to feel sluggish and just blah.... But it's now day 3 and no seizures yet so maybe I can do this for good!! Right now i'm just hoping to stay off the meds till i'm about 16 weeks pregnant. so i'm sitting here in my head saying I think I can I think I can and so on and so forth.

I'm not really sure why i'm posting this I think it's mostly because my DF trys so hard to support me and empathize but i need other e supporters right now. Thanks guys
 
Laina,

You feel like you can do it because..... you CAN do it~!

I can tell you are a strong person, and you can make it through this transition. I just went off Trileptal a few weeks ago, so I know what you are feeling. It's really hard. But the more time that goes by, the easier it gets.

Did the doctor have you taper off slowly?

I'm hoping no seizures for you! Permanently! Let's keep our fingers crossed. :)
 
I did come off slowly i'm feeling better now that it's a little later in the day but my morning was rocky. I'm trying to keep as stress free as i can by just remembering i'm not only doing this for myself i'm doing it for the little baby who's life is depending on me. I really appreciate the support endless good luck being off too
