I have been taking Januvia for almost 3 months (100 mg/day). I want to stop taking it. I just want to know if I should expect withdrawal symptoms. I am not happy with the care I have been getting from my D.O. I have successfully (after 7 MISERABLE days) taken myself off Lorazepam 1 mg and Amitriptyline 150 mg. If I survived that I assume I can do the same with Januvia. I know it has its risks...???
Hello there I have read through your question and would like to tell you January is an anti-diabetic and your physician must have prescribed it because you must be having diabetes. It is not advisable to stop it as your blood sugar levels will shoot up and may cause serious organ damage in the long run. If you are experiencing any discomfort with this medicine you can switch to a different antidiabetic. I would advise you to discuss that with your physician. Also maintaining a strict diet and avoiding sugar and carboy Chat Doctor.  I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor.
