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.
