OT - Effexor - NOT XR
This Effexor tastes TERRIBLE. No, I don't chew it, I swallow it. I swallow it as fast as I can because every second it touches my tongue, I taste it and it's HORRIBLE. Drinking water or iced tea with it does not get the taste out of my mouth at all. I've been taking it with food most of the time, and it has to be a food that has a strong taste. Like a chocolate protein bar or a caramel latte protein shake or half a cheese sandwich with spicy mustard, etc. Not something bland like yogurt. That won't get rid of the taste.
Couldn't they at least put some sort of flavoring in the tablet to cover up the taste? Seriously. It's horrible.
OK, I'm done complaining now.

I take several other meds, too, and none of them taste so bad.
Seriously, if you take it with a chocolate protein shake or take a bite of something with a lot of flavor right after you swallow it, it gets the taste out of your mouth. But even tasting it for two seconds is too much for me.
