19th Effexor Update - Feeling Okay
March 19, 2026··
Hm, late sleep, 5,5h. Day was okey but after lunch suddenly a feeling of being innerly hectic startet, like a little agitation and also upflaming arousel. Kind of holds till now but is weaker. These symptoms exhaust me a little. But i think it‘s weaker than weeks before. Was nevertheless a unproductive day. Hope to sleep well, good night crew.

It’s okay to have ‘unproductive’ days. But let’s not forget, your nervous system is working hard in the background while tapering, so you’re actually being very productive!
