Brief Answer:
Slower withdrawal

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but this medication is reported to cause withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, sweating, insomnia, rigors, pain, nausea, tremors, diarrhea, upper respiratory symptoms, and, very rarely, hallucinations. However these symptoms should last for one to three weeks and then resolve spontaneously.. It is recommended to taper this medication by decreasing 25% of the dose weekly, but if the withdrawal effects are not well tolerated then you should taper it more slowly and over a longer interval of time in order to ease the symptoms.. I hope you find this helpful. if you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion..
