Thank you for sharing your case. Palexia (tapentadol) is a powerful opioid pain reliever that can cause withdrawal symptoms when discontinued, particularly if taken for a long time. The symptoms you experience, such as nausea and weakness, are common side effects when you stop using this medication.
The time it takes for withdrawal symptoms to completely resolve can vary from person to person. Generally, most of the drug is excreted from the body within 24 to 48 hours after taking the last dose. The most intense withdrawal symptoms usually occur within the first 3-5 days after stopping treatment. Symptoms can last for 1-2 weeks, but usually improve gradually over time.
Keep in mind that it was a good idea to gradually reduce the dose under medical supervision, as this can help reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult your doctor again. To manage withdrawal symptoms more effectively, you may need additional support or treatment. If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
