70th Effexor Update - Feeling Bad
July 28, 2026··
taper update
I've been feeling down and depressed lately. I still can't handle anything stressful. I experienced some stress last night and had an awful time sleeping with my heart pounding and feeling a lot of anxiety. I have a hard time being around anyone.
