Hello I have been on this medication for about 2 months maybe on 25mg really low dose and I have been good I do have days but not as bad as before! Yesterday I had a doctors appt and he upped my dose to 50mg but my head is killingggg me I WANT TO CRY! What can I take? Should I take 25mg again?

Also I have been praying for everyone on this site that you have peace of mind and I KNOW easier said than done but please please pray God will help you!! I have been keeping myself busy baking cakes and it really helps but everyone is different I remember everyone used to say do something and I would always get mad because I thought this is not going to help and it didn't help but I found something that I LIKE which is baking cakes decorating them or cheesecakes its so fun you guys should try it and maybe sell them! Anyways I still have bad days because everyone does I am not saying I am happy everyday but its a start. I hope someone benefits from this post and if you would like to talk or have a specific thing you would like for me to pray about. let me know here or through a message! I am here for anyone who needs it because we all need someone sometimes! GOD BLESS :)

Thank you for this post.

No advice, but I hope you get your meds all figured out.

HI my daughter was given 25mg of Pristiq and she feels like a burning sensation in her chest. I believe its the anxiety plus depression and then using this med. She is more at ease and low energy. She loves baking also and yesterday she got up and made paleo cookies. Today she got up and is taking a bath. I know that this all comes from the mind and it's hard to see her go through this. I pray to God that she can get off of it soon and is the same young women she was before.

I will keep you in my prayers.
