How long does it take for the effects of diet pills to wear off? coworker took them for a few months, started having palps,quit taking them 3 days ago

Wait a little longer: OIt depends on the diet pills but usually the symptoms should get better within 1-2 weeks of being off the pills. There have been some reports of heart valve problems caused by certain prescription diet pills like Fen-Fen. if the symptoms persist after one month then they need to see their doctor
