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).

Add-on meds
I've been fine for quite awhile, am the opposite of fine right now, and was thinking of adding on something to my
Pristiq
, or perhaps just changing meds. I don't necessarily like going this route, but I'm doing everything I'm supposed to and can't pull myself out of this.

Med combinations
Just from Google i can’t find many people who have tried these two drugs together, most people only taking the
Pristiq
by itself. Anyone have experiences with this combo?

Anyone have any experience with taking Pristiq for ADHD/Depression or Anxiety?
I have been taking 50 mg 1X day for almost 3 weeks and it does not let me sleep! I have just now been ok'd to try it during the day over the weekend to what I notice from side affects. I'm very sensitive to meds so getting the dosage right for me can be tricky. Any advice appreciated! Thank you!

SSRIs versus SNRIs for Depression and Anxiety
I had a report that says that I have short serotonin receptor genes and my psychiatrist wants me to try
Pristiq
which works 10-to-1 on serotonin versus norepinephrine.

Breathing issues
I have been on
Pristiq
for almost 2 weeks now. I had been on it before but kicked it early this year. I feel less anxious but I can’t shake the breathing thing. I could go do some physical tests but the Covid thing gives me terrible anxiety too. How do I test it’s anxiety?

Switching from Pristiq to Paxil
Hi, I have social anxiety and have been taking
Pristiq
100mg and Propranolol 40mg for a week. I was having side effects like suicidal thoughts, emotional blunting, loss of interest in conversations, vivid dreams / imagination (it was annoying).

Tinnitus and Anxiety
I quit cold turkey,
Pristiq
50MG after taking it for a year. It’s been 16 months and I feel my neurochemical balance is not the same as before. Never had anxiety before but now I do and also constant ringing in the ears. Please share your experiences.

LONELY ISOLATED IN NEW YORK
I’m supposed to start
Pristiq
for whatever that’s worth as Lexapro is doing nothing to get me out of this hell. Is there anyway that there are groups with video chatting? Seeing a person I’m sure we do not only me some good but everyone

You're not my real mom! You just give me drugs (legal doctor scripts, so chill).
Mostly my doc was upset with me because I take a sleep aid (Ambien XR), an antidepressant (
Pristiq
), an upper/concentration aid (Adderal) and I've had to increase my usual intake of Xanax due to the panic attacks I get when I have to wear a mask for work.

Silent reflux or something else?
Back in June, my psychiatrist switched my antidepressant from
Pristiq
to Paxil because I felt that
Pristiq
was no longer working for me. When I started the Paxil I also started having this weird shortness of breath that I initially thought was some side effect of anxiety.
