Hi there

 

It is difficult to know what to anticipate but on this web site they say that possible withdrawal symptoms may include:  Confusion, agitation, tiredness and a burning sensation.

 

I hope things go okay for you during this time.  If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.  And thank you for your question.

Everyone is different and will experience different withdrawal symptoms. some dont experience any at all. Good thing that you stepped down though.
