I have been on 113 MG of EffexorXR for about 4 months. The past couple weeks I have been getting constipated. Has this happened to anyone else??? If so what do u do to stop it.

Yep, that can be a real problem with that drug. The best thing to do is increase your fibre intake...lots of bran and fruit etc... and drink lots of water.

I had terrible constipation when I increased to 300mg. I backed back down and it went away. I tried everything too - enemas, bran, flax seed, etc. etc.
