Quitting Pristiq....

[lovedogs51511]

Has anyone else stop Pristiq?? Its an antidepressant that works great except I cannot handle side effects such as the horrific sweating!!! I stopped the pristiq 5 days ago and still having the sweating but I think it takes at least 2 weeks for withdrawal. Some say it can take years but I'm just going with the 2 weeks and see if the sweating stops or at least isn't as intense. Hoping for the best!!! Any stories about quitting antidepressants would be helpful. Hope you all had a great day😀😄❤😎

Hoping for the best for you! I believe my doctor has said it takes about a month for meds to get out of our system but I’m not positive about that. Maybe ask your doc. Hoping you see the sweating fade soon.

Thanks Starrlight!!! A month is a long time but,just hoping to stop sweating so much. Really hope I don't get depressed and have to start taking it again. How are you doing?

Good morning my friend! If you do start feeling depressed maybe you could try a different med. I really hope you get relief from the sweating.

I’m hanging in there. I’m now on Paxil which is working some.

Hope you have beautiful moments today, peace and joy.
