Should you ween off a drug when starting a new one that replaces it?
Or is it ok to just stop taking the old drug and start the new one?
I haven't had a tonic clonic seizure, I pray that I dont (I also pray no one else does) but, Im afraid of stopping the divalproex cold turkey and switching to the zonisamide without first or while weening off the divalproex may cause me some seizure related issues, perhaps others as well.
I guess what I am asking, is that, has anyone stopped their meds cold turkey and switched to a new med without pause?
