Who makes the generic you're taking?
the price really jumped up after my insurance stopped covering it (around $667/month)
Yikes!!
Also, since I have been on this for only around 6 weeks, do I need to follow the 10% taper per week, or would I be ok with a quicker taper?
You are unlikely to have developed a dependency, however, you still shouldn't just quit taking it as there is a small to moderate risk of seizures with a sudden stoppage. I urge you to discuss coming off this med with your doctor before quitting. Seek advise on how to taper off if this is what is decided.
