I was wondering the same thing myself. I think that was very irresponsible of your doctor. Dropping by 50mg cold turkey is not the way to do it. I hope you don't try that method again. The way that is recommended by doctors and the drug manufacturer is to slowly drop the dose by no more than 5 percent for two weeks and then drop again by 5 percent for two weeks and so on until you are off the medication. That was insane to do to you. I hope you are out of the woods with withdrawl but I am not sure you are. I noticed the worst problems came after 4-5 days when stopping cold turkey like that. Be sure to keep monitoring how you are feeling.
