My taper update

I was previously on Lexapro, which did not affect my anxiety or depression in any way, and was also having uncomfortable side effects. I tapered off onto Pristiq 25mg, saw improvement and minimal side effects. Went up to 50mg with improvement in mental health but started experiencing GERD. Because I have gastritis, and due to therapy helping my mental health greatly, I am tapering off completely. I went down to 25 mg with little issue. I am going to 0 and am about a week into taking 25mg every other day. It has not been terrible but has been a bit uncomfortable at times and my emotions are on a bit of a roller-coaster.
