Venlafaxine Withdrawal

Hello I was on 75mg of Venlafaxine XL for 3 years and after tapering down I came off the 2 weeks ago. I had the usual withdrawal symptoms of feeling nauseous, brain zaps, vertigo and nightmares. The past few days I have a dry tickly cough appeared. I have had a negative Covid test. Does anyone know if a cough is a withdrawal symptoms?

Did this 3 years ago, no nightmares but otherwise as described. Did not read about or experience dry tickly cough.

(Had to go back on it because two deaths in family right after I got off, and I went sideways pretty bad.) Nasty stuff, venlafaxine XR, but it works for me.
