87th Effexor Update - Feeling Fair
July 2, 2026··
Last 2 days were stressful but good! No crash. I also had no agression problem with sport and protein drink today.
Sometimes arguments with parents lead to irritability. I don‘t have this outside with friends.
So i feel like i have overcome a plateau! After an important gig on 9. Juli i will taper one bead again.
I‘m currently pretty active and have appointments everyday.
Good night y‘all.
