A member asked:

Can i get withdrawal symptoms from venlafaxine after 10 days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Highly unlikely: the discontinuation syndrome after stopping SSRI/SNRI drugs generally happens in people who are taking them for months, if not years. However, all things are possible. If the symptoms are distressing or impairing your activities, talk to your doctor about a brief taper of the dose.
