Side Effects Of Comming Off Medicine

My son suffers from severe migraines and has been on this medicine for 4 1/2 years. We recently took him off because we felt like his headaches have been more often and more severe. He has been off for almost 2 weeks and has been very tired, very moody and has not been eating as much.

That is normal. Even if someone isn't abusing a medication, your body gets used to having that substance and abruptly stopping it will cause some withdrawal symptoms.

Since he was on it for so long, his body has to make a major adjustment and get used to working without the medication. He may even begin to suffer rebound migraines, chills, fever and nausea.

It will, eventually, taper off, but you may want to consult a doctor, just in case.
