Hey Steve, looks like there are two entries for your Check-In today. One says you're feeling okay and this one says you're feeling poorly. Feel free to delete whichever post is irrelevant. I hope you're doing alright!

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
