Are Weakness And Anger Withdrawal Symptoms Of Diclofenac?
I stopped taking diclofenac and am experiencing swollen ankles and knees. I also have pain in my knees (I have osteoarthritis). I am very sleepy and weak and am short tempered. Are these symptoms of withdrawal? How long before the subside (on average)?

Hello
No, these are not symptoms of withdrawal from stopping the Diclofenac.
You need to let your doctor know about this since the symptoms could indicate low thyroid, congestive heart failure, anemia, or a liver or kidney condition, so I would get blood work on you at this point with an addition of a chest x-ray and an EKG

Diclofenac usually does not cause withdrawal symptoms.
Please consult your orthopedic surgeon for pain in ankles and knees.
