Question : If a doctor stopped me on 75 Effexor Crandall Abilify 2ml, how long will the symptoms last.
Brief Answer:
1 week to 1 month.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
The duration of withdrawal symptoms due to these drugs vary from person to person.
Usually, these symptoms tend to decrease in intensity in 7-10 days of drug discontinuation but may last as long as 1 month (longer in some cases).
A gradual tapering down of dose is advised.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
