Brief Answer:
Withdrawal symptoms?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Are you asking about the drug interactions of these drugs Effexor and Abilify or the withdrawal symptoms after stopping Effexor? What symptoms do you have now?

It takes 84 hours for the Effexor Xr to be eliminated from the body. So it takes less than 48 hours for the withdrawal symptoms to be gone because of Venlafaxine(effexor).

Using Effexor Xr (venlafaxine) together with Abilify (Aripiprazole) may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. The elderly, may also experience impairment in thinking, judgment, and motor coordination.

Please clarify if there is something which you did not understand or I misunderstood your question.
