Hi Camille. I think you should definitely see a doctor about this, preferably a gastroenterologist. It may be a side effect of stopping Effexor, but I think it would be good to rule out any other possible causes. I've never heard of cessation of Effexor causing that problem, but I was never able to tolerate Effexor anyway, so my interest in it was cut short. Please see a doctor to find out the cause of this problem, and remember that persistent diarrhea is very unhealthy. It depletes your body of fluids and electrolytes, so you should be taking extra care to make sure you are replenishing those lost fluids and nutrients. Please let us know how you're doing.
