25th Effexor Update - Feeling Very good

March 25, 2026Β·Β·
taper update
So far I'm feeling good today. I never thought I'd be able to say that. A few months ago I was ready to throw in the towel; it was becoming too much to bear. It shows that we have to keep holding on because something could change for the better. Sending much love to everyone today! I'm so grateful to be a part of this community. πŸ’œ πŸ₯°

Thanks Jules, I appreciate it. I'm sure you can relate to feeling like you just can't go on anymore. But we have to keep going.....
