"i was on a very high dose (64mg/day) for two years. at first, it was wonderful. my dr. told me it was a mood stabilizer, and for me it did just that. for a while. after a few months, i started taking naps in the day - highly abnormal to me. then after the naps, i started to go to bed earlier, and earlier. then one day i realized i was sleeping 17 hours out of the day! since i followed my dr&#039;s intruction, and we weaned my off, my days are bright again! no naps, chores are getting done, i am not neglecting my hygeine, picking up forgotten hobbies, living, thriving! 

and absolutely no withdrawl. "
