Brief Answer:
Resumption of prior Parkinson's symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are currently on Orphanedrine which is an anticholinesterase use for Parkinson's disease to control tremor and muscle pain/spasms. If you suddenly stop the medication your Parkinson's or muscle spasms may get worse. Otherwise there are no significant withdrawals like after taking opiates. So if you are thinking of stopping just be aware of an increase in your prior pain or Parkinson's symptoms

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions.
