90th Effexor Update - Feeling Poor

September 3, 2026··

Still not feeling too well. I'm still having some dizziness and a headache. I'm feeling a tad better than yesterday, but I'm not out of the woods yet. I ordered a wire scalp/head massager from Amazon, which should get here later today. It was recommended by another member who said it really helped her. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T95SST2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I'm glad you're feeling better than yesterday and I hope you get a chance to do something that makes you happy today. Hopefully the dizziness goes away soon

Seroquel — 400— 22 years —down to 100 in 6 months, 100 is taking a lot of time to get used to so resting on 100 for as long as it takes. holding | without clinician

Thank you! I'm trying to enjoy the day as best as I can. I'm sure I'll feel better in a few more days.
