A member asked:
Is it safe to discontinue effexor cold turkey when the drug has caused abnormal changes in the electrical activity of the heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Effexor: I would suggest that you reduce gradually or take every 2nd day and then discontinue in 7 to 10 days so as to reduce the possibility of discontinuation symptoms
