Hi @Andy, welcome! I'm so glad you're utilizing holistic health treatments to better your mental health. Your signature doesn't specify which drug(s) you're on. Can you update that when you get a chance? Thank you. If you're on more than one, just be sure to taper one at a time. Have a look around the site. There's lots of helpful information about Hyperbolic tapering and how to handle withdrawal symptoms. We look forward to supporting you on your tapering and healing journey! Catina ๐Ÿ’œ

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

Please Note: I am not a healthcare professional. Any advice given is based on personal experience and that of others in the lay withdrawal community.
