Dear Saranya,
Serlift takes 2-3 weeks to start its action. Please note that it works at a certain dose. If 25 mg does not work in 3 weeks, you need to go back to the doctor so that she/he can increase the dose.

Good morning!
yes, you can stop serlift if your doctor has advised you to do so since it is a very small dose you will not have any side effects of withdrawal. I hope this helps. If you continue to have concerns or questions you can book a second consultation opinion appointment online and the Lybrate staff will help you with the same.
Take care and have a lovely day!
