How Long Do The Withdrawal Side Effects Of Cipralex Persist?

Hi. I took Cipralex for 6 months and gained about 4 kilos while on them. Since weaning off I have gained another 2 or 3. I have heard that this is normal as it could have affected my metabolism. How long do these side effects last after you have weaned off cipralex?

Hi,

Symptoms of antidepressant discontinuation syndrome tend to be mild, usually start within two to four days, and last just a week or two.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Christy J Thundiparambil, Ayurveda Specialist
