List of adverse effects of venlafaxine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following list shows the rates of adverse symptoms seen in people taking venlafaxine.[1][2][3]

  • Headache — an often transient side effect that is common to most serotonin reuptake inhibitors and that most often occurs at the beginning of therapy or after a dose escalation.
  • Nausea — an adverse effect that is more common with venlafaxine than with the SSRIs. Usually transient and less severe in those receiving the extended release formulations.
  • Insomnia
  • Asthenia (weakness)
  • Dizziness
  • Ejaculation disorder — sexual side effects can be seen with virtually any antidepressant, especially those that inhibit the reuptake of serotonin (including venlafaxine).[4]
  • Somnolence
  • Dry mouth
  • Sweating
  • Withdrawal

Common (1–10% incidence)
