A member asked:

How long do the side effects of levonorgestrel (plan b) last after you take it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually only a days: Usually not long, usually they should be gone once you get your period. Obviously of you do not get a period you need to see your obgyn for evaluation or if your symptoms persist.
