Yes it can, it is listed as a "Less common to rare side-effects"

Hi, Shaun's right it's certianly not on of the main side effects but it can happen. Have you just started taking ven? I hope it works well for you. It seems to be one that quiet a few members have used - when I first started taking it a lot were giving me advice which was very useful.
