How long does it take for swollen lip to go down from effexor (venlafaxine)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Donald Jacobson answered

Up to five days: Since it could take Effexor (venlafaxine) up to five or more days to clear you blood stream, the swelling could persist during that time. If severe , call your family doc for an antihistamine recommendation or try one over the counter, like Benadryl or loratidine. If it is severe, a short burst of steroids could be tried. L.
