Yes, abrupt discontinuation of Venlafaxine (Efectin ER) can lead to a variety of symptoms, including anxiety attacks. Venlafaxine is an antidepressant from the group of serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). When you stop taking this medication abruptly, your body may react to what is known as a withdrawal syndrome, which can include a variety of symptoms including: anxiety and panic attacks, insomnia, mood changes such as irritability and aggression, dizziness, restlessness, sleep changes including intense dreams and nightmares, nausea and vomiting.
It is important that withdrawal from venlafaxine is done under the supervision of a doctor and as directed. Your doctor may advise you to gradually reduce your dose to reduce the risk of withdrawal symptoms.
