Passing small white crystals in bowel movements, always have soft BM, not diarrhea, no pain.

kabs8
For the last several months, I've noticed small white crystals with each bowel movement.  I just recently decided to take apart the capsules of Effexor and the crystals in the bowel movements look exactly like crystals from those capsules.  Am I right to assume I'm passing all the Effexor through my colon and not absorbing any.  I hate to discuss this with my psychiatrist in person.  Should I continue taking it or is it a waste of money?
