Abruptly stopping an antidepressant medication can lead to rebound symptoms, such as a quick and intense return of anxiety. It is important to gradually taper off medications like Effexor™ to avoid experiencing unpleasant withdrawal effects, such as electric shocks in the fingers and hands. It is recommended to decrease the dosage gradually over a period of several weeks before completely stopping the medication. It is also advisable to discuss any changes to your medication regimen with your healthcare provider to ensure a safe and smooth transition.
