TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Venlafaxine and serious withdrawal symptoms: warning to drivers JO - Medscape general medicine A1 - Campagne, Daniel M. SP - 22 EP - 22 VL - 7 IS - 3 N2 - Venlafaxine is a widely used serotonin- and norepinephrine-reuptake inhibitor-type antidepressant that causes serious adverse effects in at least 5% of cases. Serious withdrawal symptoms may occur within hours of cessation or reduction of the usual dosage and may affect motor and coordination skills to such a degree that patients should be explicitly urged either to adhere to a strict medication routine or not to drive a car. Recent clinical evidence about withdrawal symptoms is presented that may indicate incidents in noradrenergic activity irrespective of dosage.
