Depends: But probably you will have some degree of withdrawal symptoms. Could be anything from excessive tearing and nose running, GI cramps or diarrhea, sweating, heart pounding and generally feeling very sick like a bad case of flue. Your options are to go to an urgent care covered by your insurance and see if they will give more meds. Clonidine might help with withdrawal. It has side effects as well.
