shock-like sensations may occur after cessation of treatment with
serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors but are reported in the
literature only rarely with discontinuation of venlafaxine. Two patients
experienced severe shock-like sensations during venlafaxine withdrawal.
For both patients symptoms occurred with lowering of the dosage and
persisted for 5 days after complete discontinuation of the drug. These
sensations may represent significant alteration of neuronal activity in
the central nervous system.
