Hi:
Just 'five' weeks on WB sr with small-dosage, like the 150 mg. - 200 mg., ... then there is NO 'dependency'development in your system (I just forgot a proper techinical language for this at this moment, ...), then I don't think that you need to concern 'too' much as to 'stopping' WB sr, as long as you take at 'slow-pace.' However, if you've been on the higher dosage, around 300 mg. - 450 mg. for the past two to three weeks, then you may need to be alamred. A bad thing is you seem NO doctor to consult over your concern as having read your previous post. Then, I quite understand you try to put an 'end' to your worry, however just looking over the Internet(including WEBmed.), there are some descrepancies from people to people. Just my view on this tho', ...As to its 'sudden' discontinuation, ... I am, too very skeptical, *if* you're on higher/closer than 300 mg. First off, ... try to 'lower-down' dosage, ... i.e., if you're on 300 mg. currently, take the 250 mg. next day, ... and gradually wean-off for the next few weeks.
In regard to 'hear-palpitation,' ... I did experience when I took the 450 mg. for a couple of days and afterwards cut it down with a good result. For me, on the 300 mg., there are NO prominent S.E.s as of today.
In my suggestion, ... if you have a family doctor/G.P., try to contact and get an opinion from there. If nothing is available, then you must be 'REALLY' cautious about a plan of WB discontinuation, particularly if you've been on higher-dosage.
