You should never stop Venlor-XR 75 Capsule (Venlafaxine) suddenly, as it may cause withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, muscle pain, seizures (fits), sleepiness, and irregular heartbeat. Work closely with your doctor to gradually reduce the dose over several months, allowing your body to adjust safely, and monitor for mood changes or unusual physical effects during the process.
