While I am very sorry to hear about your adverse reaction to this medication, there are some common sense steps everyone should take before discontinuing a medication on your own. DON'T STOP taking medications without asking your doctor or your pharmacist. Just because a medication is NON Addicting, that does not mean there will be no problems upon quitting the drug. BE SMART -- any foreign substance you put in your body can cause problems just like you said -- and after a while your body adjusts to this foreign substance. When you abruptly quit any medication that you have been on a while, your body goes through a shock--- even if that drug is aspiring. Just as you should not take any medications that are not prescribed for you -- Don't quit any medications without your doctor knowing. COMMON Sense And call the drug company -- they are required to file a report to their Drug Safety Department for the federal government
