Slept okey. I honestly felt better today, feelings were there, was able to enjoy a concert of my old school. In between angry and furious about this situation and worrying about stuff. Practiced and worked out. Better i still wait a little before the next taper, don‘t want those shit feelings again so soon and should be sure of the stabilization.

Glad you felt a little better today Steve. There's no shame in having to hold a bit longer until your next reduction. Better to go slow than to rush things and then pay for it later, you know?
