Hello friend in weening! I got myself down to 37.5 for several years then took 18 months to ween off that and my last was February 1, 2019. Please keep sharing! Today was the worst day and I woke up crying! It’s a beautiful sunny day, nothing should be wrong, but actually, still reeling over my dads passing over a year ago and mom has dementia and looking at more appropriate living situation for her tomorrow! I hate my job but am so sagging happy to have one I feel like a schlub! Oh, please someone just tell me there’s a light at the end of this tunnel!

Good morning!
Wow! Congrates for getting yourself down so slowly. That is the way to do it!

I do ont know if it is the Effexor that is making you feel the way you do.
You are going through sooooooooooo much, perhaps THAT is what is cauing you to feel the way you do.
Anyone would feel so overwhelmed!
Give yourself a break and take things slowly.
You need time to morn your dad and morn the mother you once knew
Things will get better, but it will take time.

Have a peaceful day!
