55th Effexor Update - Feeling Fair

May 21, 2026··

taper update

Slept well 8h again. Felt pretty good throughout the day, could stay like that. Quite energized and with desire for action. Worked in the garden, practiced my Instrument. Quite ready for the next taper session in a few days. I have a mood drop in the evening, some bad thoughts, worrying. Seems to be normal atm and today i got over it quickly. Good night.
