Hello
Thanks for the necessary information.
Somafresh is not one of the routinely prescribed allopathic medications and hence doesnt have much information. You should refrain from using drugs that are not FDA approved for the said indication. One thing is sure that you should stop using somafresh.
Most of the times somafresh can be stopped abruptly and generally no withdrawal symptoms appear. However if any such symptoms appear do visit your treating doctor.
Hope I am able to help you with your query.
Thanks and regards
