    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Venlafaxine is an antidepressant that selectively inhibits serotonin reuptake and is a norepinephrine inhibitor. Withdrawal syndromes can occur after abrupt drug discontinuation of long-term regimens. EXEGESIS: We report six cases of withdrawal symptoms after venlafaxine discontinuation. CONCLUSION: Physicians must be aware of the frequency, rapidity and potent severity of these withdrawal syndromes.
