Weaning off Effexor - 50mg to 37.5mg
We are approaching the end of our journey!
6/3/17 - First night at 37.5mg!
Mood has been stable for a while.
7/3/17 - I had trouble sleeping because of restless leg :( ugh.
8/3/17 - Yesterday and today, my face has pimples and I'm really teary.
Things are resonating emotionally with me more than usual.
It's like I'm having my period but it is the wrong part of the cycle.
But to its credit, I was able to have a sensitive discussion with BP and it didn't trigger anything deeper than some normal emotional responses (no 'coldness' in my core).
*PB is a good egg.
12/3/17 - I have been wearing my mouth-guard to bed to counteract grinding my teeth in my sleep.
The poor memory may be more of my brain than the effexor.
I had half a glass of red tonight (I'm a light-weight), forgot I was chatting to PB online and wandered off.
When I remembered and came back, he didn't even reprimand me.
Poor PB! He really is too good! I love him so dearly.
14/3/17 - I woke up today and I had no emotions.
Just blank.
Looks like I'll be emotionless for a while!
I also went to the doctor and got a smaller medication dose.
Tonight, I'll step down to 25mg.
