Q: withdrawing from topomax

I was put on topomax and amitriptyline for migranes about a week and a half ago and told to up the dosage by 25mgs every week. I have been researching topomax and I want to get off it. Can I stop it right now or should I ween myself off? Confused

Sorry for delayed post.
Do not stop taking this medication abruptly. If you are planning to stop with the usage, consult your doctor first. Some conditions may become worse when this drug is suddenly stopped. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased.

For how long you are suffering from migraines?
What type of migraine you have?
