Quite a few.: Sweating, stomach cramps, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, irritability, insomnia, ringing of the ears and in severe cases , convulsions. There should be a gradual withdrawal , decreasing the medications a little bit at the time with your doctor's help. If you had been on it for a long time on a dose exceeding 3 mg. daily, it might be best to do the gradual reduction in the hospital.
