36th Effexor Update - Feeling Fair

April 5, 2026Β·Β·
taper update
Feeling better today. I'm having some mild anxiety and activation-type symptoms, but that's somewhat normal for me. My husband and I have taken walks the past three days in a row. I'm happy that I'm able to get outside and get some sunlight and Vitamin D, which I need so badly since my level is low. I hope everyone is getting along okay today! 🌸

Glad you're feeling better today :) Getting outside and soaking in the Vitamin D is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. Keep keeping on...
