Can pure-o be a withdrawal symptom of stopping venlafaxine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible : What you are describing is a form of anxiety manifesting as obsessional ruminations after stopping the medication venlafaxine. Yes, it is possible to experience severe withdrawal in this situation. The best treatment is to restart the medication at a low dose. Of course you will want to discuss this with your doctor. Hope this is helpful.
