27th Effexor Update - Feeling Very good

taper update
I'm feeling good again today. No specific complaints - yay! I'm just looking forward to tapering the Venlafaxine in the near future. I don't want to make anymore changes until I get my thyroid tested again in May. To whoever reads this, I hope you're getting along okay today! 😍

I'm hoping to start soon after I get my thyroid tested. I like to start at the beginning of the month, so it'll probably be June 1st if all goes as planned.
