65th Effexor Update - Feeling Good

July 11, 2026Β·Β·
taper update
I've been feeling pretty good today. I slept 10 hours last night! I attended an in-person meeting this morning and was able to socialize a bit without major anxiety. I'll definitely be ready to drop another bead on the 15th. Onward I go! I hope everyone is getting along okay today. For those who are struggling, keep going.....
