KarineT How long is a piece of string? There have been many threads on exactly this topic on the forum though not sure how to find them as it is quite non-specific to search for!
Some women can experience symptoms for many many years. A survey a few years ago found that for some had flushes for 14 years. You would be one of the lucky ones if your symptoms stopped after the last period. For some women this is just when they ramp up and sometimes get worse approx two years after the last period when oestrogen has fallen approx to its lowest level. For some women, once they stop HRT if this is well post-menopause, they can experience a resumption of symptoms for a short while and then they will ease off as the body gets used to being without oestrogen again.You don't know at the start whether you will be one of those whose symptoms will disappear quickly or go on for a long time.
Actually I've just remembered there was a recent thread here - but it's in the alternatives to HRT section so easily missed!

Maybe start your own thread about this and give us an idea of where you are in menopause etc as that will have a bearing on your symptoms? Also why you are wanting to stop? Your post may well get lost in someone else's unrelated thread.
Also to add that even if symptoms like flushes and sweats disappear you will remain in an oestrogen deficient state for the rest of your life so will not be getting any of the health benefits from taking oestrogen ie to your heart and bones. If you are less than the average age of natural menopause of 51/52 then you are advised to continue with it anyway.
