I'm on day 12 - venlafaxine free. The adjustments continue. I no longer have 'cotton-wool brain' but it still feels like my brain is working very hard to re-wire itself... fatigue and scatterbrain are the 'new norm' today & yesterday. I'm keeping on my supplements & exercise - praying for all the little synapses & dendrites to make the right connections again!

Did you taper off or just stop all at once?

So interesting how you say it feels like your brain is rewiring! As soon as I read that I thought, that’s exactly what it feels like! Scatter brain for sure for me too! I’ve been almost walking into a lot of things too. So I definitely need to be careful! 😂
