> Does anyone know why the noradrenic meds cause such horrid constipation? And is their a remedy? I am hurting here peeps! ;)
Summer:
I don't know if this helps, but when I started on Effexor I had terrible constipation. It *is* listed as one of the side effects, but is unpleasant notheless.
What I have done is to eat *lots* of fruits and vegies, eat things with as much fiber as possible and to drink LOTS of water. Water will help the fiber move material through your system.
It works for me... Good luck!
