Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Crestor is Rosuvastatin and if we consider the elimination half life of the drug then the T1/2 is about 19 hours. The drug takes about 4-6 days to get out of the body. Depressive symptoms caused by the drug reverse in about 4 weeks completely.

If panic attacks and other symptoms worse then better to consult a doctor.
