39th Effexor Update - Feeling Good

April 8, 2026Β·Β·
taper update
Feeling pretty good today. No brain zaps or weird things with my vision. Anxiety feels better. I've been sleeping very deeply these past few nights, and I think it's because I've been taking walks outside and have gotten some Vitamin D. Sending everyone healing vibes today. πŸŒ…πŸ’œπŸŒΌ

A day with no brain zaps and weird vision things is a win! I'm completely convinced that spending as much time outside and getting vitamin D, is the answer to a lot. We weren't meant to be cooped up inside!

Thank you! I agree. We weren't meant to sit behind computers all day. We need nature! β˜€οΈπŸŒ΄πŸŒ»
