Withdrawal Symptoms after Serotonin-Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitor Discontinuation: Systematic Review.
Serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) are widely used in medical practice. Their discontinuation has been associated with a wide range of symptoms. The aim of this paper is to identify the occurrence, frequency, and features of withdrawal symptoms after SNRI discontinuation.. PRISMA guidelines were followed to conduct a systematic review. Electronic databases included PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and MEDLINE from the inception of each database to June 2017. Titles, abstracts, and topics were searched using a combination of the following terms: "duloxetine" OR "venlafaxine" OR "desvenlafaxine" OR "milnacipran" OR "levomilnacipran" OR "SNRI" OR "second generation antidepressant" OR "serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor" AND "discontinuation" OR "withdrawal" OR "rebound." Only published trials in the English language were included.. Sixty-one reports met the criteria for inclusion. There were 22 double-blind randomized controlled trials, 6 studies where patients were treated in an open fashion and then randomized to a double-blind controlled phase, 8 open trials, 1 prospective naturalistic study, 1 retrospective study, and 23 case reports. Withdrawal symptoms occurred after discontinuation of any type of SNRI. The prevalence of withdrawal symptoms varied across reports and appeared to be higher with venlafaxine. Symptoms typically ensued within a few days from discontinuation and lasted a few weeks, also with gradual tapering. Late onset and/or a longer persistence of disturbances occurred as well.. Clinicians need to add SNRI to the list of drugs potentially inducing withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation, together with other types of psychotropic drugs. The results of this study challenge the use of SNRI as first-line treatment for mood and anxiety disorders.

Pharmacokinetic correlates of venlafaxine: associated adverse reactions.
To address the potential correlation between plasma concentrations of venlafaxine (VEN), its active metabolite O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODVEN) and the active moiety, AM, (ODVEN + VEN) and adverse drug reactions (ADR) in a large naturalistic sample of in- and outpatients. We compared plasma concentrations of VEN, ODVEN and AM and dose-adjusted (C/D) levels as well the ODVEN/VEN ratios between patients complaining ADRs, following the Udvalg for Kliniske Undersogelser side effect rating scales (UKU) (n = 114) and patients without ADRs (control group, n = 688) out of a naturalistic database. We also investigated potential pharmacokinetic correlates of the four UKU categories by comparing patients complaining ADRs with those who did not. Based on previous literature we applied different ODVEN/VEN ratio values as cut-offs to split our sample into two groups at a time and compare frequencies of ADRs between the groups. No differences for demographic and pharmacokinetic variables including plasma and C/D concentrations as well as ODVEN/VEN ratios were observed between study groups. Neither the comparisons between females and males nor between elderly and non-elderly patients revealed significant differences (p > 0.05 in all cases). No differences were also reported exploring the patients complaining ADRs from the 4 UKU categories separately. After applying various ODVEN/VEN cut-offs, groups did not display differences in frequencies of ADRs (p > 0.05 in all cases). Our findings do not demonstrate a direct link between venlafaxine metabolism measures and ADRs. Therefore, additional dimensions are needed to be considered in future trials aiming to disentangle the involved aspects of ADRs in patients receiving venlafaxine.
