Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this withdrawal effects. What is certain is that these symptoms would get better with time and it is difficult to predict for how long these would last. I suggest you come to the understanding that this would be just for a while. Eat healthy, exercise often and stay active as these measure have been helpful to many others going through similar challenges.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for suing our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
