Sorry to hear this Wolf. I've heard that mornings can be very hard for some people. What symptoms have you been experiencing? How are you dealing with them when they arise? I hope things improve soon. ❤️

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 16.64 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Synthroid - 25 mcg

mental discomfort, overall discomfort like with the flu, a little bit of pain here and there, some feeling of sedation, and some weird sensations...
