I have been on ciprimal for the past 7 years now, fluctuating on different doses of 20mg, 10mg or 5mg. One week ago I decided to give my body a break from being on the drug for such a long time. Since I have stopped taking the medication I have been experiencing severe and rapid dizzy spells numerous times each day. I want to know if
a) this is normal? and,
b) how long it will take for my body to adjust to not having the drug in my system anymore?
First of all maybe instead of going cold turkey you could cut down slowly? Would that help?
Secondly yes dizzy spells are very common in this kind of situation because the chemicals in your brain have been rapidly altered and the dizzy spells are a side effect of your brain trying to sort itself out.
Usually sholdn't take more than a couple weeks for your body to sort itselfs out. If it takes longer or gets worse, seek medical advice
