My stomache really slowed down when I started the Effexor. Initially I was constipated. I added the more fibre and water like yourself, but my stomache still was slow. My doctor prescribed domperidone for me (it isn't available in the States but to my understanding there are alternatives) and this worked. It wasn't overnight though.
This medication had a side-effect that I didn't care for and the doctor prescribed an alternative which I didn't get filled. Instead I'm eating about half a cup of raw unsalted sunflower seeds, about four prunes and an orange, plus the regular stuff everyday. This is helping though the orange gives me cramps which I've always gotten from them.
GOOD LUCK
Willow
