I was scared to try a different drug but life was so terrible I was willing to do anything to get some relief. I did not went through any side effects when taking the drug. pristiq has given some of my life back. and I can function at the day program (which was in jeopardy before pristiq). I would recommend this drug for who ever suffers from depression and anxiety, at least give it a try.

When I first started Pristiq I had a hard time sleeping. It felt like I was awake with just my eyes closed. After a few days that went away. Had some night sweats as well. I stuck with it because I was feeling better. I was on Prozac for many years but it seem to quit working, I asked my Dr. if I had built up an immunity to Prozac, she said you don't build up an immunity on that kind of drug, not sure if I believe that, cuz I tried increasing it and it just stopped working. The biggest problem I have taking the Pristiq is the constipation. I keep taking all kind of things to help that but nothing seems to help with it. She just prescribed me a liquid medicine, we'll see if that works.
