Hello, SallY! How are you?

If you stop taking them abruptly you may suffer some withdrawal effects. They can include nausea, diarrhea, rebound pain and chills.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi Vernwon,(hope I spelled it right), thanks for replying so quickly. I suppose the main concern is that will the withdrawals will put me in the hospital, have cardiac arrest or possibly go into a coma from not having the medications. I know all of this sounds stupid and I am sorry, I am just really scared after some of the stuff I have read on the manf. labels and on the forums. Thanks again, Sally
