Hi and thanks for this query.
It generally takes about 1 week to feel better after stopping this medication. The ideal approach would have been to tapper it off slowly so as to avoid these undesirable effects. Please, always talk o your doctor before stopping any medication so as to get special guidelines on doing so.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
