    Dear Scott. When I started this thread I explained that my daughter was prescribed 4800 mgs daily. This exceeds the permitted dosage. She had a horrific 9 months with seizures and weight gain of one stone per month for nine months. She died suddenly in her sleep aged 44. You need to be especially careful of how this is reduced as done too quickly can be fatal. You need to seek professional advice and reduce in a carefully managed way. We are in the inquest process and health professionals agree this is far too high. Be very careful
