Starting an antidepressant
Long story but I just started taking
Pristiq
. I have a long history of depression and anxiety and I have never been good about taking my meds. I was wondering if anyone had a good experience with
Pristiq
?

Off pristiq
I took my last dose of
pristiq
on Tuesday. I have been a guinea pig for snri's since September. My psychiatrist wants me to washout until Tuesday and then start me on an ssri. I suggested Prozac because it worked wonderfully in the past.

Starting Pristiq
Has anyone had a lot of nausea when beginning
Pristiq
? I am in my third week. Wondering how long this might last.

Need Information about Pristiq
Does anyone here take
Pristiq
? What are your thoughts about the medication? Side effects? Does it help only with depression or anxiety and OCD also? Thank you!

Will I ever feel “normal”?
After I had my first child at age 23 I started on
pristiq
and found I was barely surviving, my MD switched me to Prozac which I am on now, and have found good effects but still suffering with symptoms at times.

ketamine, PD and depression
I have tried
pristiq
,vibryd,Wellbutrin and lexapro , all to no avail. I tried ketamine assisted therapy (KAP) for first time this past Sunday. Talk about getting high! I took (2)sublingual 175 mg tablets over 20 minutes. I think dose may have been too high.

A New Year and Best Wishes to Everyone
He prescribed
Pristiq
with a low dose of Klonopin to assist with anxiety while the anti-depressant kicked in. Despite being bashed online,
Pristiq
gave me no side effects and was effective. I gave the psychiatrist a million reasons why it wouldn't work for me, but it did.

Fisher Wallace device for PD depression
I have tried
Pristiq
, Vibyrd, Wellbitin and Lexapro, each for 6-8 weeks. None of them made a difference, I am still very depressed and my fatigue is off the charts, Bradykinesia is getting worse, apathy reigns supreme, speech is worsening... If you have used it, did you see any results?

Hardest thing in my life
I haven't even stopped the taper yet as my psychiatrist prefers I wait until the
Pristiq
levels are up. I just want to be done with it and move on!! I don't want to rant. Does anyone relate?

Ativan tolerance withdrawal
I just started taking 25mg
Pristiq
which is a low dose to begin with and will take longer to establish a therapeutic level but I am sensitive to medication. I am so angry that I am going through this at all as prescription for Ativan was to take every 6 hours as needed for anxiety.

Starting TMS Therapy
I have had success with finding a psych med that helps me (
pristiq
) but not sure how effective it is anymore. I also know there is a family history of depression/anxiety on my fathers side. I decided to try TMS therapy and am going today for my third treatment.

Depression & Anxiety Flair Up
I am currently taking
Pristiq
to keep it under control. I had been doing good until the beginning of May when I got a severe toothache and since then my depression and anxiety is through the roof again. I am at a loss of what to do. I have to force myself to go to work which I need my job.

Well, I caved
I recently weaned off of
pristiq
. It was awful but I made it though! I was going to try to go Med free but it was just too much. I am now starting out on Zoloft. It’s only been a few days but the nausea is pretty bad. And tips/tricks to getting through the first couple of weeks on this one.

Sleep disturbances in medications
I’ve also tried celexa,
pristiq
, Wellbutrin, Luvox, Prozac, all with the same issues. Ready to quit meds altogether or at least go lower on dose (I’m only taking 15mg which is lowest therapeutic dose or so I’m told).
