Hi welcome to Health care magic forum. Prothiaden is a habbit forming drug and abrupt
withdrawl may cause headache. constipation may be due to suppression of higher centeres of
brain but it is not always present. It should be stopped by tappering the dose.
Besides i advise you to follow some diet recomendations as Take more of green leafy
vegetables pulses sprouts milk fruits and juices. Thanks for calling.
