One of my friend has been prescribed with fludac 20 mg everyday night once. My friend is talking it continuously for 3 months. Now the problem is if it is stopped, it gives him several other problem like severe headache and weakness. Also it gives a kind of feeling that there is no co-ordination with other parts of the body. Now when it is taken regularly , in that case also sometimes these symptoms persists. Need help and guidance what should be done.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your friend is experiencing withdrawal symptoms of Fludac. Fludac 20 should be taken at the same time & should not be stopped without informing the treating physician.

It has withdrawal symptoms so the doses have to be tapered for a few weeks & then the spacing should be further increased to reduce chances of aggressive withdrawal symptoms.

Get connected to your treating physician & follow the instructions as given. The medication when tapered properly does not cause symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
