88th Effexor Update - Feeling Okay
September 1, 2026··
I have decided to not reduce by another bead today like I had planned. Some recent stress really churned up some unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Also, I have two upcoming stressors this month, so I will wait to reduce until after they have passed.
I'm still having anxiety and feel a bit dizzy and woozy. I did sleep well for the most part last night though although I had a lot of heart pounding.
