4-10 hrs : different for different situations. When symptoms start is your time. Agitation sweating anxiety yawning etc. You may not be addicted yet but certainly dependent . Please see an addiction specialist there are in and out patient treatments to reduce the medication while easing the withdrawals if you can't on your own slowly reduce like increasing the time slightly between doses or decreasing dose
