Probably not: 150 mg of trileptal is a pretty low dose so it is reasonable to stop it all at once, but you could try taking it every other day for a couple of weeks then stop - to see if that helps the tiredness. It was likely making your sleep deeper, so you may not be getting as much deep sleep now, but your body will likely adjust to that over time

Trileptal: I don't recommend abruptly discontinuing medications like trileptal but prefer a slow taper off it. However I would expect more profound withdrawal symptoms in the first week. Perhaps your prescribing physician or psychiatrist can evaluate your present fatigue in order to determine whether another medication is advisable to treat or prevent depression which can present as fatigue.
