effexor physiological effects
Hyponatremia tends to develop within the first few weeks of treatment (range 3 to 120 days) and typically resolves within 2 weeks (range 48 hours to 6 weeks) after therapy has been discontinued with some patients requiring treatment. Following discontinuation of venlafaxine, symptoms resolved within approximately 72 hours. The onset of withdrawal symptoms ranges from 14 to 48 hours after the last dose of venlafaxine extended-release and symptoms effexor physiological effects to resolve rapidly (range, within 2 to 24 hours) after resumption of therapy. Dyskinesia has also been reported.
Venlafaxine has been reported to increase the pain tolerance threshold to electrical sural nerve stimulation and the threshold at which pain increases (pain summation).
One case of serotonin syndrome has been reported which is believed to have been precipitated by the combination of venlafaxine and trazodone.
One small study has suggested that venlafaxine may improve attention, concentration, memory, and reaction time performance after single oral doses.
Nervous system side effects reported in premarketing Phase 3 trials have included amnesia, confusion, depersonalization, hypesthesia, abnormal thinking, trismus, vertigo, akathisia, apathy, ataxia, circumoral paresthesia, central nervous system (CNS) stimulation, hostility, hyperesthesia, hyperkinesia, hypotonia, incoordination, myoclonus, neuralgia, neuropathy, seizure, abnormal speech, stupor, adjustment disorder, akinesia, alcohol abuse, aphasia, bradykinesia, buccoglossal syndrome, cerebrovascular accident, feeling drunk, loss of consciousness, dementia, dystonia, increased energy, facial paralysis, abnormal gait, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, hyperchlorhydria, hypokinesia, hysteria, impulse control difficulties, increased libido, motion sickness, neuritis, nystagmus, paresis, decreased or increased reflexes, and torticollis. There are not sufficient data with the use of venlafaxine extended-release at doses above 300 mg/day to determine the incidence of sustained increases in blood pressure at these high doses.
One study has reported average systolic blood pressure increases effexor physiological effects 1.7 to 3.4 mm Hg and average diastolic pressure increases of 0.4 to 2.6 mm Hg. The onset of withdrawal symptoms ranges from 14 to 48 hours after the last dose of venlafaxine extended-release and symptoms tend to resolve rapidly (range, within 2 to 24 hours) after resumption of therapy. The frequencies presented, therefore, represent the proportion of the 5356 patients effexor physiological effects to multiple doses of either formulation of venlafaxine who experienced an event of the type cited on at least one occasion effexor physiological effects receiving venlafaxine. There are not sufficient data with the use of venlafaxine extended-release at doses above 300 mg/day to determine the incidence of sustained increases in blood pressure at these high doses.
One study has reported average systolic blood pressure increases of 1.7 to 3.4 mm Hg and average diastolic pressure increases of 0.4 to 2.6 mm Hg. There are not sufficient data with the use of venlafaxine extended-release at doses above 300 mg/day to determine the incidence of sustained increases in blood pressure at these high doses.
One study has reported average systolic blood pressure increases of effexor physiological effects to 3.4 mm Hg and average diastolic pressure increases of 0.4 to 2.6 mm Hg. During its premarketing assessment, multiple doses of Effexor XR were also administered to 1381 patients in Phase 3 GAD studies and effexor physiological effects patients in Phase 3 Social Anxiety Disorder studies. Following discontinuation of therapy the amount of REM sleep tends to rebound. effexor physiological effects antidepressants have marked dose-dependent effects on rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, causing reductions in the overall amount of REM sleep over the night and delays the first entry into REM sleep (increased REM sleep onset latency (ROL)), both in healthy subjects and depressed patients. The antidepressants that increase serotonin function appear to effexor physiological effects the greatest effect on REM sleep. The reported incidence of each of these effects ranges between 10% and 20% of treated patients. The authors state that it is possible that the anasarca was due to an allergic or delayed- type hypersensitivity reaction given the circumstances.
There are numerous case reports of withdrawal symptoms following abrupt discontinuation of treatment, and a single case report of severe tinnitus associated with venlafaxine.
Withdrawal effects occur upon abrupt discontinuation of effexor physiological effects and the severity of symptoms effexor physiological effects effexor physiological effects be dependent on length of therapy and effexor physiological effects (including low dose therapy). There have been postmarketing reports of toxic epidermal necrolysis.
One case of venlafaxine-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome has been reported. Tests for potential dose relationships for these events (Cochran-Armitage Test, with a criterion of exact 2-sided p-value ≤ effexor physiological effects suggested a dose-dependency for several adverse events in effexor physiological effects list, including chills, hypertension, anorexia, nausea, agitation, dizziness, somnolence, tremor, yawning, sweating, and abnormal ejaculation.

Adaptation to Certain Adverse Events
Over a 6-week period, there was evidence of adaptation to some adverse events with continued therapy (eg, dizziness and nausea), but less to other effects (eg, abnormal ejaculation and dry mouth).
Vital Sign Changes
Effexor (venlafaxine hydrochloride) treatment (averaged over all dose groups) in clinical trials was associated with a mean increase in pulse rate of approximately 3 beats per minute, compared to no change for placebo. The frequencies presented, therefore, represent the proportion of the 5356 patients exposed to multiple doses of either formulation of venlafaxine who experienced an event of the type cited on at least one occasion while receiving venlafaxine. The proposed mechanism for the development of hyponatremia involves the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) via release of antidiuretic hormone.
Use of venlafaxine effexor physiological effects been associated with small effexor physiological effects statistically significant increases in total cholesterol, high- density lipoprotein cholesterol and low- density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Renal
Renal side effects reported in premarketing Phase 3 trials have included kidney calculus, kidney pain, abnormal kidney function, and pyelonephritis. The same study effexor physiological effects an increase in the effexor physiological effects pulse rate of effexor physiological effects to 4.5 effexor physiological effects per minute.
Another study (n=7) suggests that venlafaxine may promote adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events by increasing platelet activity in susceptible patients.
An increase in heart rate of 4 beats per minute has been reported.
According to a retrospective review, in the overdose setting (up to 3 g of venlafaxine), tachycardia, hypertension, mydriasis, QTc prolongation, and transient arrhythmia can be expected. A case of increased libido and spontaneous erections has also been reported.
Although rare, several cases of venlafaxine- induced urinary symptoms including nocturia, enuresis, increased urge/frequency, and incontinence have been reported.
