What are the possible effects of stopping my venlafaxine (Effexor)?

Hello, the effects that may occur when you stop taking this medication depend on why you were prescribed it in the first place. It is sensitive to dose reduction and when it is decreased too quickly, some may feel anxiety, general discomfort and even electric shocks. It is recommended that you do not attempt to stop this medication alone, but rather with a pharmacist or physician. Discuss it with your healthcare team and find out together the best way to stop this medication.
