-No specific antidote exists for venlafaxine induced cardiac arrhythmias, although intravenous sodium bicarbonate and calcium appeared effective in one case. Sodium bicarbonate would seem the preferred agent given it has much less toxicity, fewer contraindications and is accepted as effective in treating many other sodium channel blocking drugs. Thus, treatment of tachy & bradyarrhythmias should be similar to that used in [[:wikitox:2.1.11.9.2.1_tricyclic_antidepressants|TCA poisoning]] with [[:wikitox:alkalinisation|]] as the first line therapy.+No specific antidote exists for venlafaxine induced cardiac arrhythmias, although intravenous sodium bicarbonate and calcium appeared effective in one case.
