Brief Answer:
At most 2-3days!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Soon after discontinuing a disturbing drug, the body returns to normal. In most cases, this never goes beyond 2-3days. I will suggest that you monitor during this time and see hoe it unfolds. Otherwise, drink much water and get enough rest.

I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me for clarifications and more information
if need be.
