Hi,
It is difficult to tell exactly how long the side effects will remain but we are sure that you would report significant regression within 72hours. Having stopped the drugs already, they can no longer get worse than what you are experiencing now. Most persons are completely free from any lingering side effects.
I hope this addresses your worries. I wish you well and feel free to follow up with me if need be.
Kind regards!
