A member asked:

Anhedonia brought on by trifluoperazine. discontinued these but how long will it take for the anhedonia to go? now i've got flupentixol. will it help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: The pharmacological time it takes for half the dose of this medication to exit your body completely is just about a day (22 hrs.). So theoretically it should be about 90% cleared from your body within 2.5 days of the last dose. HOWEVER, clearing side effects could take significantly longer.
