52nd Effexor Update - Feeling Okay

For the most part, I slept well last night. My head pain level is about a 2-3/10 today. I'm still feeling a bit dizzy. All in all I'm doing better, so I'll take any relief I can get. I have to spend some time today counting and preparing my bead doses for the coming week. It's a shame we have to become our own pharmacist. I don't want to switch to liquid because Venlafaxine (Effexor) extended-release can't be made into liquid. If I switch to liquid (immediate-release) I'd have to take it twice a day, and I don't want to increase the chances of missing a dose of this horrible drug. Bead counting - although tedious - is the best way for me. As Jules says, "One bead at a time!" That's a fitting mantra for me.
