It is the same as building up antibodies for germs, the body adjusts to the current conditions, but if you stop the med's for a period of time it will reverse

And approximately how long does it take the body to get rid of the tolerance, once meds have been stopped? Any tips on helping the body rid itself of stored up medicine faster?
