Question 1

i've been taking 25mg benadryl (diphenhydramine) 2-3 time a day for about 6 months for involuntary movements. what can i expect as withdrawal symptoms if i stop?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Your prior symptoms may come back.  You should not have withdrawal symptoms.

Question 2

are there withdrawal symptoms from diphenhydramine?

Accepted Answer

Benedryl side effect: No. Withdrawl symptoms are related to a body's reaction after cessation of exposure to an addictive substance. Benedryl=dyphenhydramine is not an addictive substance, so withdrawl would not be medically anticipated.  You may have rebound swelling of the sinus tissues that had been treated by the antihistamine.

Question 3

what can i take while tapering and quitting geodon for withdrawal symptoms? i heard benedryl was good. i have ativan for emergencys is that okay when i cant calm down?

Accepted Answer

: Benadryl and lorazepam are not antipsychotic medications. If you are on high dose of geodon then you have to discuss with your psychiatrist for possible withdrawal symptoms even if you taper the dose slowly. If you are on a small dose, then you can safely taper and stop it in 10 days without the fear of withdrawal. Good luck.

Question 4

how can i reduce my withdrawal symptoms when i stop taking hydrocodone?

Accepted Answer

Supportive Drugs: There are a variety of medications that can help with withdrawl symptoms such as Zofran (ondansetron) for nausea and Clonidine for agitation/irriation.

Question 5

have been taking 30-60mg of codeine daily for wisdom teeth removal for about 3 days. will i have withdrawal symptoms when i stop taking it?

Accepted Answer

Codeine: By now the pain and swelling should be starting to go down.  If so, begin tapering off the Codeine, substituting Ibuprofen if you still need some support.  If pain persists, or if you have difficulty coming off the codeine, call your Oral Surgeon for help.

Question 6

which are the withdrawal symptoms if i stop taking hytrin (terazosin) suddenly?

Accepted Answer

Hytrin (terazosin): Withdrawal of terazosin therapy is associated with an increase in supine diastolic blood pressure, often to hypertensive levels, without signs of a withdrawal syndrome. Also associated with significant weightloss - 3 to 4 pounds in 6 to 8 weeks.

Question 7

will there be withdrawal symptoms if i stop taking hytrin (terazosin) suddenly?

Accepted Answer

Generally not: You should be able to stop Hytrin (terazosin) suddenly without untoward effects  (if your doctor wants you to stop it).  If you take it for prostate problems it is possible you may get up a few more times through the night.   If you take it for blood pressure it is a good idea to monitor your blood pressure to make sure it continues to be well controlled.

Question 8

does zofran (ondansetron) cause withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it after being on it for 20 months?

Accepted Answer

Zofran (ondansetron) for nausea: If you stop a medicine for nausea, most likely you will experience a rebound effect after stopping the medication. Zofran (ondansetron) does not produce tolerance, therefore there will be not discontinuation syndrome or physical withdrawal if not taken anymore. Hopefully the cause for the nausea has disappeared and stopping zofran (ondansetron) will not cause any problems.

Question 9

i've been on 25 mg of amitriptyline per night starting 4 nights ago for migraines. will i experience withdrawal symptoms if i stop taking them?

Accepted Answer

Amitriptyline: Usually 4 days is not enough to result in a withdrawal syndrome ( usually weeks to months) and 25 mg is a low dose   but please discuss any cessation of medication with your provider

Question 10

can you tell me if there are withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking amioderone?

Accepted Answer

Half life is long: The half-life of the drug is so long that withdrawal symptoms are not possible. After prolonged use the elimination half-life of this drug can be up to 100 days. That means that it could take up to 500 days completely clear your system. Any drug coming out of your body that slowly would not have any withdrawal effects whatsoever. Best wishes.
