If it is related to venlafaxine (Effexor) it would be an unusual presentation of a discontinuation syndrome. It is likely that is a reemergence of anxiety that is more evident with the disappearance of depressive symptoms. Other factors including psychosocial one's are equally a possibility. It appears to me that these symptoms might require a more in-depth evaluation to be sure.
