51st Effexor Update - Feeling Okay
May 16, 2026··
Slept 7h and well. Most of the day was pretty good for the 5th day od withdrawl. I even felt motivated and, yeah, quite okey. Now at night i overdid social media and got flares of aggression, stopped scrolling. If only every tapersession could be like that. Still a few days left to evaluate. Trying to sleep soon.
Have a good night!
