If you're stopping abruptly, this is normal. a "rebound" effect is common with stopping most antidepressants. Ideally, weaning from those should be gradual.
I can't tell when this will stop, as it is highly variable from person to person. If you're really ready to stop the thing, you should be able to cope. If it's too hard, contact a doctor and set up a gradual schedule or get used to the idea of being hooked for longer..

Depending on how quickly you are tapering. We find individuals have the most success at 10% a week. Try raising your glutathione to help with the detox and a high grade Omega 3, since the brain is 60% fat by dry weight and almost all of this is Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Their optimal presence assists in cell receptor function, recovery and receptor number change upon repeated lack, or excess, of neurotransmitters and even drugs, such as the GABA receptor agonist, benzodiazepines.
There is no blanket answer, to when you will feel like yourself again, every person's journey to recovery is different. The supplements listed above can help speed up the recovery, but give your brain some time. I have experienced many people get their lives back and their sense of humor.

You may experience "head tingles" for a week or two. You will be back to normal after that.
