Some withdrawal : There is withdrawal warning with this medication... The larger the dosage and longer you are on it, the more likely withdrawal symptoms you may feel. As a result, gradually weaning over a week to two is advisable.
Consult the prescribing physician/nurse for further advice.
Good luck.
