Hello. These symptoms are possible with each step decrease, and usually last a few days to 1-2 weeks at most. However, if they are too severe or prevent you from functioning during the day, your withdrawal may be too rapid for you. In this case, I invite you to contact your pharmacist who will re-evaluate the proposed schedule. I hope I've answered your questions, but please don't hesitate to contact me if you need more information Tom Samaha, pharmacist We look forward to seeing you!
