Thanks for the update. It's good things are fairly stable at the moment. I'm so sorry you've suffered so long due to taking a drug that was supposed to "help."

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

Glad to hear your mood is holding steady, it's a really good place to be. And ya, it can take time for the body to sort through what it’s been dealing with for years. For now, “feeling okay” is a win. Stay with that, keep going at your pace, and keep checking in with yourself as things change ~ Jules
