> a) Constipation, which I'm not combatting very well.Effexor XR hasn't done this to me, despite it being a big deal with every other AD I've ever taken. I take lecithin supplements every day, and those may have a lot to do with it. Let's see, Effexor, Prozac, lecithin, and a daily multivitamin pack. I don't know which of those are involved, but since starting the lecithin, I've been regular, and had very little trouble even at those times in the month when I'm usually uncomfortable.

For the other side effects you mentioned, have you had your blood pressure checked? Just one though...I drink a lot of coffee, and I have an occassional drink. Haven't found much trouble from Effexor over that, though. I do have more dry mouth and more insomnia. The insomnia is not too bad, the dry mouth is more of a problem for me. I just drink constantly ;-)
