How long until Effexor XR is out of your system?

Posted by oceanbreeze on July 4, 2001, at 18:59:54

I stopped taking Effexor 11 days ago. Is it out of my system? How long will it take?

Approximately 87% of a venlafaxine XR dose is recovered in the urine within 48 hours as unchanged venlafaxine (5%)--so it stays in complete form in the kidneys for 2 days.

Metabolites after 2 days: unconjugated ODV (29%), conjugated ODV (26%), or other minor inactive metabolites (27%). Renal elimination of venlafaxine and its metabolites is the primary route of excretion.

The chemical itself is out by now.
BUT your body is still adjusting to NOT having it there, and the changes Effexor made in your brain chemistry can take up to 3 wks to go back to normal.
