Epileptin Side Effects

Can I stop taking epileptin at once. I drink 300mg a day for nerve pain but it is not working that well. I use it now for 3 months but do not have a pain free day as the doctor predict, so I want to stop taking it. I will carry on with the Celebrax. I do not have epilepsy and the epileptim is making me very moody. ## Do not stop abruptly as this could cause unwanted side effects. Ask your doctor to wean u off & put you on something else like Lyrica. Most meds should not be stopped abruptly, and doing so with an anti seizure drug could actually produce a seizure. I'm not familiar with your med but nonetheless, don't stop....wean.
