Maybe: Some people experience symptoms when they abruptly discontinue drugs like effexor (venlafaxine). These symptoms may include flu like symptoms, vertigo, and electric shock like sensations. Resuming the medication will alleviate these symptoms. When you are ready to come off the medication you should work with your doctor to taper the dosage slowly.
