Hi Angel Girl,
I'm glad you're doing better.

About constipation: yes, many people have that on Effexor XR. Some people have mentioned Metamucil taken daily with juice for example. I personally eat large navel oranges (1 a day) and when that's not enough, I eat prunes in syrup (Del Monte's for example). Also: wheat bran or raisin muffins for breakfast (healthy ones). Fresh fruits and veggies are usually good. Also, beans can help. There was a thread about a month ago on that very subject:

About dry mouth: people have that, but I think it goes away for most - perhaps not at 225mg though. When I had that, I drank lots of water (it helps fight constipation too!) and I used lip balm on my dried lips. You could also chew non-sugar gum, it makes your mouth produce more saliva than usual, although it's not great for your jaw.

Good luck, and take care.
