Efexor to Pristiq

Pumpkin, the doctor switched me to Pristiq about five years ago. The transition was great. He gradually moved be over. He lowered Efexor gradually and started me on Pristiq. I had no problems at all. I do know from experience that skipping doses of Pristiq will cause brain shivers. This occurrence was caused by ME. For some dumb reason I skipped Pristiq for two days. My doctor had warned me that this could happen. I immediately took a single dose and then everything went back to normal. I suggest that you contact your doctor ASAP. Something is definitely wrong. Oan by the way with Pristiq I have no side effects. Good Luck to you.
