Can taking venlafaxine (effexor) cause a late period? if so why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically not: Also depends on how your cycles were prior to Venlafaxine. Occasional late period is common for a lot of women, factors such as travel, stress, climate change, weight changes can play a role also. If pregancy is a possibility, do a pregnancy test Best Wishes
