Metoclopramide is the active ingredient in Opram.

Usually for drugs like this the safest way to stop taking them is to tapper off them, if possible. Some medications can be taken in fractions (actually cut into pieces) and these smaller pieces can be taken in place of the regular dose for a period of several weeks until the body is no longer dependent upon them.

As for the withdrawal effects of this medication, I believe that the link below will be very helpful to you:

Please post back if you have any other questions or comments to add.
