This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as runny nose, sweating, restlessness, widened pupils, loss of appetite, goose bumps, irritability, shakiness, . fast heartbeat and muscle/bone pain) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately.

Though it is very unlikely to occur, this medication can also result in abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction/habit forming).

When used for an extended period, this medication may not work as well and may require different dosing. Talk with your doctor if this medication stops working well.
