This is easy, it's gotta be withdrawal. I mean, who wants to experience that? Not me, that's for sure. I'll be sticking with option C on this one.

Withdrawal, for sure. I've heard horror stories about people going through that. You definitely don't want to stop taking your meds cold turkey. Option C is the way to go.

Ooh, this is a tricky one. I'm going to go with dependency. Doesn't that sound like the right answer? Although, maybe withdrawal is the way to go...

Withdrawal, definitely withdrawal. That's the one that can happen if you stop taking a medication too quickly. Option C is the winner here.
