Side effects withdraw duration how long is it possible for it to last if you have taken a medication for only 4 weeks for instants.

What i am saying is it possible to have a long time side effect even if you have been taking MEDS for a short period like 4 weeks.

Depends on the med. I've heard of people who have taken benzos for 4 weeks and then experienced heightened anxiety after stopping - for a few months afterwards in some cases. With antidepressants, unless you have had an adverse reaction, 4 weeks is not enough to make changes to the brain. 8 weeks is another story, however. Some people appear to experience withdrawal from drugs that takes months or even a a year or two to fully recover from, though this largely happens with people who have been on a drug long-term. The majority of people who quit these drugs do not experience long-term withdrawals.
