Actually venlafaxine has a relatively short half life. It is completely removed from your system usually within 1-7 days.
Fat soluble chemicals are absorbed and may stay around in your body fat (for example, cannabis). But venlafaxine is a water soluble chemical, not fat soluble.
It may take longer to remove from the body if you have liver or kidney disease.
