taper update
Feeling good. Been having bouts of fatigue and anxiety. Yesterday, when I went to get out of bed, as I was walking out of my room, one of my legs collapsed under me and I just collapsed on the floor in a sitting position. Not sure why. Never had that happen before.

For the fatigue and anxiety, you can check out the Symptoms and Self-Care section of the forum with tips on how to manage these things. We have some information about muscles, but it's mostly about pain and tension. Keep us updated on how things are going for you. 💝
Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
