I was on it for a while. You may be right, it seems like docotors don't know the full impact this drug has.
I never had withdrawal symptoms and i got off it right away.
But I do know it can be abused to get a certain high, and I did use it for that a few times. I'm not sure my doctor was aware of that. So I'm thinking anything that has the potential to produce a high has the potential to have withdrawal effects.
I wouldn't know what to do about it though.
