Brief Answer:
Yes withdrawal symptoms maybe there

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Yes after stopping Solian, we expect to have some withdrawal symptoms. You would observe similar symptoms that may have been happening on reducing its dose. No special or life-threatening symptoms expected. Anyways , you need to withdraw under your doctor's guidance. Regular visit to your doctor is needed after withdrawing Solian. You can make a plan with your doctor about it.

Otherwise if you have specific concerns, please let me know
