15th Depakote Update - Feeling Poor

June 23, 2026··

taper update

Feeling poor. Been having bouts of dizziness. I'm still experiencing some withdrawals (are those withdrawals or something else?) on day 15, but there was 48 hours of feeling okay so I count these two days as a win.

I'm glad you had a couple days where you felt better Wolf. Healing tends to happen in windows and waves.

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 18.24 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
