54th Effexor Update - Feeling Okay
May 19, 2026··
7h sleep. Felt pretty okey today. At noon i‘m getting irritated and restless due to boredom. Practiced Saxophone (difficult Top Tones, sry for my neighbours), prepared curbstones for the garden.
Guess by tomorrow this tapering session should be over again in a cool 7 days. About 100 sessions left.
Visiting my younger brother in 2 days who ditched these meds after a few months and led a beautiful life, he just became a father. Maybe he has some ideas on what to focus on in the labor market.
Wish you all a good night.
