It all depends on the way each of us reacts to the drugs in general, how long we were taking them, and many other things. In some cases though, the common denominator is that, even if the symptoms fluctuate, changing in their intensity and texture, they improve on average - the worst, and the most hellish, akathisia/obsessive thoughts/panic attacks-type stage eventually morphes into a less painful one. Then in the less painful, and so on, getting closer and closer to the point of healing. It doesn't, of course, happen in all cases. Some improve much faster than others. I'm, personally, one of those long-termers for whom recovery takes longer...
