How Can Diclofenac Withdrawal Symptoms Be Reduced?

I am having a small procedure (cystoscopy with bilateral retrograde pyelogram) in day surgery and was informed that I needed to stop taking the diclofenac 75 mg 2x daily 7 days prior to the surgery. I stopped taking this medication on the 11th.. and feel awful. Is there a withdrawl symptom issue with this medication and if there is, what can be done to stop these symptoms? My surgery is not until the 18th.

Hi

I had gone through your query.

Diclofenac is analgesic medicine and it has no withdrawal symptoms.

It is used to treat pain and inflammatory procedure.

You can stop it abruptly and take as and when require.

It has no course and it can be used whenever require.

Do not worry about its withdrawal symptoms.

It is just anxiety of surgery. It psychological withdrawal symptoms not physical so need to understand and do not worry about it.

Relax.

Still have query then feel free to ask.

Thank you.
