Do you know how long this would take to completely leave your system?The half life of Effexor's main metabolite is similar to that of Cymbalta at 11 +/- 2 hours. Theoretically, it should be completely cleared in 13 x 5 = 65 hours. I would allow a couple extra days to be safe and would suggest a similar time interval as Cymbalta, about 5 days.
