Hello there

 

Was there a reason you did this?  What does your doctor say? 

 

I have to tell you...it is never a good idea to stop a medication cold turkey.  You are probably experiencing some withdrawal symptoms.  Can you tell us what you are experiencing right now?  Since you did this a week ago...not sure what anyone can tell you to do now.

 

Tell us more about your situation and we can try to offer suggestions.

 

Thank you for your question.
