Brief Answer:
Yes it is, about 2 weeks (more or less)

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Yes, all these are indeed withdrawal symptoms and shall subside with time. The drug must already be out of your symptom, so there is no immediate need to do anything different.

I have only two things to advise:

+Get as much sleep as possible
+Drink plenty of fluids
+Take mild anti-vertigo or headache medication if your symptoms get intolerable

Yes, it should subside in a few days time, but that time cannot be accurately predicted, but it should be around 2 weeks.

Please also feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
