    Hi Demi,

    I’ve read that it can take as long as 3-6 months to get rid of the withdrawal symptoms.  It’s called discontinuation syndrome. The time frame can change depending on how long you were on the medication and the amount you were taking. That’s why I’m so nervous to go off it.  It’s good progress that you are feeling almost back to normal. Stay strong!
