Withdrawl effects from medications used to treat Krohns Disease

Withdrawl effects from medications used to treat Krohns Disease

I was diagnosed with Krohns Disease about two years ago. Since there is no cure I underwent many different types of treatment.Paxil, deltazone, sulfasalazine, lorazapam, helidac therapy, hydrocodone (50 a week). Please note these are just a few of them and some were prescribed due to other symptoms that arose during treatment. I stopped taking all of these at about the same time very suddenly. My question is what are some of the withdrawl (withdrawal) effects that I may have experienced (mentally mostly, but also phisically)?  Thank you for your time.

I am most familiar with the psychiatric medications that you are taking than the other medications.

The Withdrawal symptoms of theses meds depends on how much and how long, you have been taking them.

With Paxil and Ativan (lorazepam), withdrawal symptoms are similar to physical symptoms that you experience when you are experiencing anxiety like shaking(tremors). You may also experience headaches, sleeplessness, flu-like symptoms, abdominal symptoms.

In your case, it would be difficult (if you are experiencing withdrawal symptoms)to pinpoint which medication is causing which symptoms because of the multiplicity of your medication regimen. Also, Crohn's disease can mimic withdrawal symptoms.

I suggest discussing with your physician your frustration with the treatment process and work with him regarding further treatment with your illness.
