Something is definitely happening to me. I took statins 4 times and I am not quite sure they agree with me. It's that. Or it's something else.

Glad to hear this! Unless the decaf is organic, they use all sorts of chemicals to extract the caffeine from it. I hope this change brings you some improvement!

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

Interesting. I heard there are three different ways they can use to extract the caffeine. Mine does not mention at all which way was used to extract it. I certainly drank a lot of it. Until today.

I think the Swiss Water Process is supposed to be the safest one.
