There is no set time for the benefits of a drug to be felt but it could be 4-6 weeks. If you are under the supervision of a doctor while tapering off and changing over the key is to go slowly, slowly and if it feels bad, go back to the previous step.

Keep your doctor informed and up-to-date with your progress is important.

Your doctor has your best interests at heart. If you have been on a πŸ’Š medication for a while, slowing down by 25mg per week could work but as the doctors like to say, "every body is different "

Stay optimistic & tuned in to your body πŸ˜‰
