"Good proof that somatic/systemic effects afffect our psyche too!" — @Based PsychiatristIt really is. I was thinking all the anxiety was solely due to the Ven taper, but lo and behold the Levo was really messing me up! It shows we have to factor in everything we're taking and how it could affect us. I'm so grateful to my close friend for suggesting the dose could be too high.
