46th Effexor Update - Feeling Okay

Good morning everyone. I slept very well last night, and I think it was because I took a warm bubble bath right before bed. Soaking in the tub has got to be one of my favorite self-care rituals. I love adding Dr. Teal's Lavender bubble bath with Epsom salt. No matter how bad I'm feeling, taking a bath always makes me feel better. I'll choose a bath over a shower any day! I'm still dealing with some dizziness and head constriction/burning today, but at least it hasn't gotten worse. This is the fourth day of having these symptoms. My body is super sensitive to Effexor withdrawal. I experienced severe, long-lasting harm when I missed a dose some years ago, so tapering off is no walk in the park. I thought removing one bead would be easier, but it is what it is. I'm thankful I'm taking things slowly and listening to my body. That is key. I might use a heating pad on my head today. For whoever reads this, I hope you're hanging in there okay too. 🩷
