I have been taking 2 tablets of extended release Venlafaxine for about 2 month when I started seeing white thinks in my stool. As I looked closer I saw it was a table. With that I looked at the rest of my stool and found 1 more tablet. I have been reading that extended release can pass through you but the medication still gets out. Well I am finding that hard to believe because after getting them clean I compared it to a new tablet and they were the same size. Then I cut the tablet in half and found that the outer cover was still interact and the medication was still in there. That night I did not take my Venlafaxine. But the following night there they were again in my stool. Two full tablets. Are we buying medication that just is going down the toilet, I believe so. I am on Wellbutren that I beleive is disoving and will see if there is any difference in my depression. Will look tomorrow for more tablets.
