I have been taking Effexor Xr my entire 6 weeks with no problems. I take the capsules (75mg). My doc told me that the exterior of the capsule disolves so its not like taking a pill that size. I just had a fill on Monday, could feel the restriciton, could feel the tightness even when drinking water - still took the Effexor with no problems at all.
