Brief Answer:
These are withdrawal symptoms and stop slowly
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
What you are experiencing are withdrawal symptoms of Zyven OD that do occur when it is stopped abruptly.
To counter these withdrawal symptoms please reduce the dose in following way.
As a principle reduce 20-25 % every week.
First week 75 mg (50 mg + half of 50 mg)
Second week - 50 mg
Third week- 30 mg ( break the 50 mg in two and take the larger piece)
Fourth week- 15 mg (break the 50 mg in three and take one piece)
Fifth week or - stop it completely
In this way you will not encounter these side effects.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.

Dear XXXXXXX ,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
Take the medications on same time of day as per your comfort. It could be morning or at bed time, preferably on the schedule which you followed for last eight months.
There is no diffetence in side effect with pregnancy and same side effects continue to happen during pregnancy. In addition to this there is risk to unborn baby with use of Zyven OD.
