A member asked:
What is the likelihood of having withdrawals from 37.5 mg of venlafaxine after 8 days of taking the med? stopping because of whole body itching worse with each day. just looking for secondary insight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Significant withdrawal symptoms are less likely with this dose and short duration of use. You are allergic to this medication so there is no choice but stopping it. Furthermore, the indication for this med is also important for us to decide if withdrawal symptoms are significant or not. A discussion with the prescriber is always the best approach.
