Aww I'm sorry. Sometimes it's good to just let the tears flow. It can be healing.

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg

Everything is going well! The symptom still comes and goes occasionally, but it's nowhere near as intense as it used to be. I'm feeling so much better at the moment that I can finally enjoy my everyday life again. Thank God! 🙏
