Brief Answer:
Effexor withdrawals

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are wondering what the withdrawal symptoms are for Effexor. The usually withdrawals are more nerve related issues like brain zaps, intractable headache, tingling and anxiety. There are no changes to your skin.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions

I already asked a follow-up question...... but here it is again...
Why then, did the pharmacist advise me not to let myself get dehydrated when I was getting a refill on Effexor? Does that mean that Effexor draws water from your skin and organs.......

Brief Answer:
No danger of dehydration

Detailed Answer:
I do not know why your pharmacist said to drink plenty of fluids. There is no reason to be concerned about dehydration with effexor. I think he just meant that you should drink plenty of fluids as a general health recommendation
