Venlafaxine Withdrawal

If you stop taking venlafaxine suddenly, or reduce your dosage, withdrawal symptoms can occur, often within a matter of hours.

Venlafaxine withdrawal symptoms include:

Anxiety, confusion, or agitation
Lack of coordination or vertigo
Nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting
Sleep disorders or nightmares
Headache
Dry mouth
Fatigue
Brain zaps (electric-like shocks)
Many of these symptoms can cause severe disorientation, and are especially dangerous to people driving, operating machinery, or engaging in other risky tasks.

Talk to your doctor about any unusual side effects, and follow your doctor's instructions for tapering off or stopping your use of venlafaxine.
