It shouldn't take too long to stop, as there is usually a relationship between how long the symptoms have persisted before the cessation of the drug, and the length of the aftereffect. This is not absolute, of course. But there's no reason to assume it will be two years...

Mine went away after I stopped the meds, for months. Now it suddenly reappears. It's been happening only when I try to go to bed, for some reason. Then alcohol just seems to power it like a lightning bolt stuck it.
