A person struggling with the side effects of Effexor or experiencing a lack of efficacy of the medication may not have been informed of safer alternatives. It is well-established that SNRI antidepressants like Effexor can cause side effects that outweigh the benefits of continuing to take them.

Common Side Effects During Venlafaxine Titration
Venlafaxine is associated with many side effects which can start to emerge during the period of time taking the drug.
These can be found and explored more extensively in several informative articles that can be found on our site. But here, we want to focus on the side effects when a person begins to withdraw from venlafaxine. These reactions can emerge when a person either misses a dose, including being late by a few hours, or when a person is trying to withdraw from venlafaxine, even when venlafaxine tapering is being done gradually. It is often the sudden change that is associated with intense withdrawals during venlafaxine tapering. Venlafaxine tapering should be done under medical oversight and very gradually.

Each person is a unique individual, and naturally, some people will react to withdrawal from venlafaxine differently than others. However, there are some symptoms that appear to be statistically common to many, when large numbers of consumers are surveyed. These include a sensation often referred to as “brain zaps,” shivers, or electric shocks through the head area. Commonly, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and dizziness accompany the brain zaps. These sensations can be quite severe and as they can come on randomly, suddenly, and can persist for a time, brain zaps can be very unsettling.

The withdrawal effects that occur when stopping a serotonin-norepinephrine re-uptake inhibiting drug like Effexor can be daunting, and one should never stop taking this drug abruptly. However, with guidance, a person can gradually come off the drug safely and may benefit by transitioning to Effexor alternatives. Based on our research and direct clinical experience, we know other possibilities exist besides living a lifetime medicated on antidepressant drugs.

Do you wish to start living life in a way that resembles your desired self without Effexor side effects?

In many cases, Effexor may not adequately treat symptoms. Effexor (venlafaxine) has a very short half-life, approximately 5 hours. This means a late or missed dose can cause grievous problems, resulting in time lost at work, injuries and accidents, and other negative consequences. As mentioned above, serious harm to health can occur because of potentially life-threatening Effexor side effects that many persons experience.4 For all of these reasons, one may begin to consider safe and effective Effexor alternatives for improvements in mental wellness.

The bottom line is if this antidepressant medication is not working as it should or if you are experiencing unwanted side effects, talk with your doctor, and talk to us, about alternatives to Effexor.
