Please explain what are some symptoms of stopping effexor (venlafaxine) cold turkey?

WIthdrawal: If you are on a dosage higher than 75mg, and sometimes even on 75mg you may have flu like symptoms, nausea, dizziness, internal discomfort, "malaise" just feeling unwell, difficulty sleeping, excessive sleeping, fatigue and gastrointestinal disturbances. It is better to taper off.
