75th Effexor Update - Feeling Poor
June 16, 2026··
Sad i‘m sleeping worse again as before (i‘m not taking the 1mg cyproheptadine anymore btw) Falling asleep at about 4am or even later. Also i‘m worrying much and feeling quite unwell, even thought i’d start to panic today?! Sure i‘m trying to distract myself but normally i should be feeling better by now. This 32,5mg border really is a tough one, i‘m kinda scared of not progressing or being stuck with this dosage.
I want to do a spermiogramm soon but i honestly don‘t know if i‘d be able to physically.
Secretly i hope these issues get finally taken more serious by the medicinal system, i‘m so unbelievably angry.
I continue hoping it just needs more time, sleeping better and on to the next day.
