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.

Thanks for your response. What are "lecithin supplements"? Sounds like its worth trying.
