And can after effects of the drug be expected especially after tapered off doses of SSRI's

It depends on the drug and on the physical condition of the person.
Some drugs are out of the body in minutes, some take a month or more. If you have problems with your kidneys, liver or certain enzyme systems, different drugs will hang around longer.

It depends on the medicine, the persons condition, whether they eat properly/drink a little to often(hic) and their size. Anything from minutes to weeks. There is one drug that has to be injected very fast to work, as it'll only last 6 seconds!!! Generally the quicker it takes to get to a steady level in your body (5 doses I believe) the quicker it will leave your system.

that depends entirely on the half llife of the drug in question and also the level of function of a persons liver or kidney which would effect the individuals ability to metabolise and excrete the drug
information on individual drugs can be found in the drugs data sheet

It entirely depends on the medication.
If you want to get rid of it as soon as posssible, make sure you are drinking the recommended amount of water each day, at least 8x 8oz glasses, if you exercise a lot, you should be drinking more.

Depends which medication, they all have different half lives so can stay in your system for different times, it also depends what dose you take. And whether you take sustained release versions (SR or XL), or dissolved or capsules. Ask your local pharmacist.

It depends on the medication. What you need to worry about is the half-life of the chemical and the structure. peptide based molecules are filtered out faster than steroid based molecules. for instance, cocaine (amphetamine) is filtered out of the system in no more than3 to 10 days where cannabis molecules are filtered out in 30 days due to their structure as they like to bind them selves to fatty cells in the body. Look up the specficic drug on the internet and referance detectable limits in your search. (or half life) Hope this helps.

It depends on how long the person has been taking the medication and what type of medication it is.
