My understanding is that it stays in your system for long time. I was on 10 mg and then 20 days before, knowing I had no insurance for the next month, I begs cutting them in half. Took 5 mg for twenty days and stopped. We are all different but I didn't have too much difficulty but I could tell I had stopped.

Went back on it when I got insurance again and gained 10 lbs! I DO NOT LIKE THAT!!(LOL)

Anyhow best of luck.
