53rd Effexor Update - Feeling Okay

April 27, 2026··

taper update

Hello good people! My headache is pretty much gone, thank goodness. The dizziness also feels better. But for some reason I feel extra revved up by my meds today (Levothyroxine & Effexor). Oh well, I'll take that over having a debilitating headache! I'm not going to reduce by another bead until I feel completely stable. Slow and steady is the name of the game.
