Q: Discontinuing St. John's Wort

I took St. John's Wort for one month. I have since switched to a prescription anti-anxiety medication and have not used St. John's Wort for about a week. How long after discontinuing use of SJW does it take for potential interference with oral contraceptives to be eliminated?
