Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Please see that as already 24 hours have passed and you cannot get a refill. So just relax and your withdrawal symptoms will decrease with time by itself. Yes, venlafaxine will soothe some effects but not all. Do not overdose venlafaxine dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
