Constipation while on Effexor

Posted by Alesa on August 16, 2004, at 15:37:29

After singing the praises of Effexor, I have one minor complaint. I'm constipated. It's kind of a blessing because before I was on Effexor, I had diarrhea often and had bowel movements two to three times a day, which was annoying and gross. That made sense then because people with anxiety disorders defecate alot.

I eat fruits, vegetables and fibre, but I guess I'll have to start eating prunes now. I drink 10 glasses of water a day too. Any advice on a good harmless laxative that won't mess with the Effexor, or make me have the runs?
