There was some research a while ago (around the time of Linus Pauling's
"Vitamin C and the Common Cold") which indicated that suddenly withdrawing
from megadoses of Vitamin C would cause lower-than-normal levels of the
vitamin in the blood.

If you're taking one or two Centrum tablets a day, I doubt very much that
stopping them would have any effect (other than strictly psychcosomatic.)
Perhaps if you were a real vitamin phreak, taking megadoses, it might be
more prudent to taper off.
