Variable: “Typically, the withdrawal symptoms begin 1-3 days after substance use ends. The duration varies, but most cases reported Luvox withdrawal lasting between 1-3 weeks. Clinical studies have shown rare cases in which symptoms lasted for months for people who misused Luvox.” REF: https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/luvox-addiction/withdrawal-detox/#gref
