Which of the following is NOT listed as an adverse reaction to Venlafaxine?

• A. Drowsiness
• B. Photosensitivity
• C. Stevens-Johnson syndrome
• D. Tinnitus

Answer: (D)

Venlafaxine’s adverse effect profile includes central nervous system symptoms like drowsiness, potential photosensitivity, and in rare cases serious skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Tinnitus, however, is not a commonly listed adverse reaction for this medication in standard references. So while drowsiness and photosensitivity can appear and very rare skin reactions like SJS may be noted, tinnitus is not typically associated with venlafaxine’s listed adverse effects. If a patient reports ringing in the ears, consider other causes or contributing meds rather than attributing it to venlafaxine’s usual adverse reaction profile.
