63rd Effexor Update - Feeling Okay
May 29, 2026··
Slept well yesterday, late falling asleep. Today also late falling asleep and 9,5h sleep. Thats pretty long and i need to curb that.
So far i don‘t really feel the taper, only in the morning with the feeling of kind of being in danger. But that clears soon after waking up.
Having a lot to do and feel like there is not enough time 😄 Having a concert today (attending, not playing) and some events tomorrow. Hope everything goes well.
Have a nice day!
