There are a : Couple of reasons to be on this medication and a few reasons you may feel the need to get off. Before you stop this drug, please talk to your doctor. He could help the insomnia issue or address why you want to stop. For example, say its weight gain, add topirimate. Say your pregnant, being off the meds isn't likely to improve outcome especially if ur in a funk. Good luck but please get seen.
