How long will it take for me to be free of venalfaxine im having electric shooting feeling through my body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Venlafaxine SEs: This unfortunate side effect of withdrawing from this common anti-depressant will not last forever. It is thought that in five to seven days most of the drug should be out of your system and your brain will begin to normalize. If you can tolerate the symptoms and want to stay off of the drug for now please be patient. If the symptoms get to be too much then you may need to go in or page your doc.
