What Causes Anxiety Attacks After Taking Duromine?

Hi have stopped Duromine cold turkey and found that I had bad anxiety attacks, constant feeling of tension, like I was about to do a huge presentation to 1000 people! Is this a common effect from taking Duromine? Will it go away eventually & how long until drug leaves the body?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Duromine can cause anxiety, tremors and dysphoria on withdrawal. Its half life in blood is 25 hours; that it takes about 25 hours for the blood level to drop to half.
Withdrawal symptoms of Duromine are usually mild and will go away eventually.
I hope this answer helps.
