How do i taper off tegretol safely? been on it for a month, 300 mg for bipolar.

Talk with doctor: Please talk with your doctor about any changes you're considering making in your medications. If bipolar, stopping tegretol may expose you to further mood instability. Depending on how sick you have been, this could be very dangerous for you.
