My brother has this same problem, sort of. If he stops cold turkey, he seizes and has gotten into some bad spots before with this. It means he has to wean himself off...but once he's weaned he's not at risk of having seizures anymore. Unfortunately he keeps going back. Now at the age of 27 he already shows the beginning stages of liver failure.
