Check-in - Feeling Good - Mar 2
March 2, 2026··
Feeling good. Been having bouts of gi upset, sweating, and dizziness. Venlafaxine now stopped after taper from 225mg in 3 weeks. Took 80mg of prozac over three days which has helped a lot. Recent drop in buprenorphine has shown up with GI issues and tiredness, but feeling motivated.

Wishing you well. Why were you forced to do a rapid taper? I'm so sorry.
Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
