Speak to your doctor: You should speak with your doctor about your side effects im sure they'll have you either restart the medication &taper down more slowly or start another medication to combat whatever side effects you may be having.It is also possible that what you perceive to be side effects from stopping the medication may be due to something else. Again, speak with your doctor for more clarity on this matter.
