Effexor Withdrawal and Bleeding - Need Help!

OKAY SO- I started bleeding the other day, period possibly or I assumed, and had a sudden effexor withdrawal the other day and noticed I'd stopped bleeding. I'm not sure if the bleeding was my period or side effects from plan b, but it seemed too heavy to be plan b. I'm asking if anyone else has noticed issues with their bleeding alongside Effexor withdrawal? If so please tell, I took a pregnancy test and it said negative but Im going to take another today. I'm trying to track down what caused this. Any possible answers would be extremely helpful. Extra: I came off of a birth control about 4 months ago as well, which I was one for about 7 years.

not sure if this is helpful but effexor has made my period really whack. from bleeding super heavy to like none at all. especially when i first started/ if i missed a dose on accident. i also just stopped my birth control pill 2 months ago and i'm super super late, like a month late (not sexually active anyway, so pregnancy is not a concern lol) but it seems like ur body is under a bunch of stress, so that'll throw ur cycle off balance:( i hope you feel better soon!

I get brain zaps with Effexor, but I’ve never bled. I do get heavy bleeding from plan b though
