No, its pretty unusual for a substance to cause noteworthy harm after sudden cessation. This is distinct from developing a tolerance, which as you note is pretty normal for humans.
- hirvi74 2y agoWhat is defined as noteworthy harm? Are we talking about noteworthy short-term effects or as far on the spectrum as death? I can think of quite a few substance which result in harm with sudden cessation after prolonged usage -- Alcohol, benzodiazapines, antihypertensives, etc.. Perhaps medications like: antipsychotics, anticonvulsants, immunosupressants, etc. as well? Obviously individual reactions vary and nothing is a guarantee in medicine, but I believe many substances can cause noteworthy issues with sudden cessation that are greater than just the reemergence of the underlying condition being treated. However I am probably more wrong than right on most topics, so (anyone) feel free to correct me if I am mistaken.
