Given that venlafaxine (Effexor) is possibly the worst offender among the commonly prescribed antidepressants RE withdrawal symptoms, it would be useful if venlafaxine was commercially available as an oral suspension. Unfortunately, it isn't.

Venlafaxine hydrochloride is freely soluble in water. A venlafaxine oral suspension can be prepared to facilitate tapering, if necessary. Crushed venlafaxine tablets (not m/r caps) can be used as the source of venlafaxine. According to an article that I just read, OraPlus can be used as the suspending agent and OraSweet Syrup as the flavouring. The resulting suspension is stable for several days, and should be kept in the fridge.
