Hello, Trotter! How are you?

Oh yes, if you were taking that dose for that many years and it's suddenly lowered, it is completely normal to experience some withdrawal effects, while your body adjusts.

As reported by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, headache, dizziness, chills and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
