I hope so @Duloxi84. I have mainly dealt with anxiety; the depression and fatigue are somewhat new symptoms, but I'm not sure if they're related to withdrawal or my thyroid and low Vitamin D. I get those checked again in September. Thanks for your encouragement! 🩷

I'm thinking that maybe I didn't explain things correctly before. Is it possible to add depression to the choices of symptoms you can click on when you do a check-in? Here is a list of what you can currently choose:

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