A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tricyclic withdrawal: Dothiepin 31.25mg/day is a small dose; risks for side effects of withdrawal are much less than at high doses. Tricyclic antidepressant withdrawal can be unpleasant, w mood symptoms including irritability & insomnia, & flu-like physical symptoms. There can even be dangerous heart rhythms (rare); no-one should stop these medicines abruptly on his/her own without discussing w prescriber.
