Hi,
In fact, yes, you are right these drugs do develop dependence and suddenly stopping them may cause many withdrawal symptoms. We generally recommend not to stop the drug suddenly.
Rather reduce the dose every 1 to 2 weeks till it is stopped in a few weeks. Withdrawal effects may occur up to 2 years but are less if slowly reduced.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
