I was all over the place this past weekend and I didnt feel ill or held down by the weaning at all. It's really hard to believe that I'm more than halfway through and feel better right now than I did when I first begn weaning down my dosages. Tonight I decrease another 10% which puts me at less than HALF. I am so blessed and thankful to be living my life with relatively little issue or side effect. I have my moments of dizziness, or random brain zap here and there but it's been nothing debiliating and I thank God for it all. I'm about a week away from my next menstrual cycle which means that my hormones should begin fluctuating soon, as they do, I plan to pay attention to any change in the WD symptoms which can become more severe during this time. Now that my hormones are fluctuating a bit more, I do notice some changes in my body's acidic versus alkaline balance. Candida has kicked back in, so it leads me to believe that the effexor possibly helped in stabilizing those annoying symptoms and now I'm up and down again. 
So, okay... I guess when I say that I have NO symptoms, I dont necessarily mean that I am care and worry free, and skip everywhere that I go. What I mean is, nothing is stopping me from living the life that I wish to live and enjoying it. Everything is manageable right now, and thats the key. Manage the pain or discomfort until you reach your end of the journey. We shall see how this next dose affects me, for now I'm back to work on this chilli Veterans day.
