Question 1

does flucloxacillin cause any withdrawal symptoms?

Accepted Answer

No: There are no withdrawal symptoms from this antibiotic.

Question 2

help plz! can smoking one cigarette after quitting for a while cause withdrawal symptoms all over again?

Accepted Answer

Recharge the habit.: After having quit, smoking even one cigarette can get you smoking full bore all over again. Don't tempt fate. The mental battle to remain abstinent from smoking lasts forever.

Question 3

i have been taking .5 mg of lorazepam for 2 years. would stopping such a small amount cause withdrawal symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Ativan (lorazepam): Although the dose is low, the duration of being on it is long, hence withdrawal is possible. Consult your prescribing doctor for safe gradual taper plan.

Question 4

what anti-depressants do not cause the nightmare withdrawal symptoms that ssris do?

Accepted Answer

Antidepressants: After consultation with your prescribing doctor, options might be wellbutrin, abilify, (aripiprazole) or seroquel.

Question 5

would switching from teva venlafaxine to ran venlafaxine cause withdrawal symptoms ?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Generic drugs need to be within +/-20% of the bioavailability of the original drug. So theoretically, your new formulation could be providing you with 80% of active molecule of the old one, potentially leading to withdrawal symptoms. Discuss with your prescribing physician. Hope this helps.

Question 6

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 7

why can ssris (and similar medications) be considered non-addictive, yet can cause major withdrawal symptoms?

Accepted Answer

A key distinction...: Between addiction, which causes you to crave increasing amounts and lose control over your willpower, and physical dependence, which simply means that your  body receives the beneficial effects of the medication and becomes unbalanced when it is gone. Some examples of medicines that your health becomes "dependent" on and you will feel unwell if you stop taking them are insulin, thyroid meds, etc.

Question 8

can taking xanax (alprazolam) for 2 weeks and then stopping cause withdrawal symptoms? didn't take every day made 12 .5 mg last 2 weeks

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Very unlikely to cause withdrawal symptoms when stopping after such a short period and small amount of consumption.

Accepted Answer

NO: No there is no permanent damage. Just try to live a healthy lifestyle and get good rest, eating, hydration, exercise and mindfulness. The dose was low and short time period. You are just worried.
