Diabetologist 's  Response
Lustral(sertraline) and citalopram belong to a same class called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Therapeutics effect of sertraline can be seen as early as 7 days but it may take 2-3 weeks also.
The answer for your question might be around 1-3 weeks. If the withdrawal reactions or side effects are severe, do consult your psychiatrist.
Hope the above information helps.
