Denise; we are all different but if you have been on it for years you should start to feel the benefits again anytime or up to another week. chuck1957 Please if you run into this problem again you do have a few choices call the doctors office and see if the doctor has a week's worth of samples to get you by. or call the pharmacy you get your medication and ask for the pharmacist in charge and ask if you bring in your bottle can they give you a week's worth and fill the rest and you will pay for all of them when you pick them up. it is not good to go on and off your medication.
