I'm going to presume that you're really referring to niacinamide. It's the anxiolytic form of vitamin B3.
I don't know the answer to your questions. However, understanding the way the GABA-A receptor works, how it is regulated, and so on, I would have to assume that the answer is yes to both questions.
Frequent use of niacinamide will lead to adaptation to it (tolerance). After adaptation has occurred, ceasing exposure is going to lead to reversal of that adaptation (withdrawal).
That's my considered opinion, anyway.
