Hi,
Usually, withdrawal symptoms occur when medication has been taken for a long period of time or high doses are used but persons respond differently to medication.
It would be best to be seen to determine if your symptoms are due to withdrawal or if there is another contributing cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
