Pristiq is an SNRI like Effexor and Cymbalta, which means it has a significant effect on Norepinephrine as well as Serotonin. They are just like SSRI's (if that is what you have experience with), save a stronger affect on the norepinephrine.
Just wondering if you have taken abilify and if thats anything like it? I was on abilify and zoloft together that caused me to hallicunate and lose reality for two months before realizing it was meds causing it as i thought i was posessed by demons. That was a very traumatic time for me and is mainly my fear in taking new meds as i never want to go through that again. I would be taking 50mg of prestiq once every other day and 600mg neurontin 3xa day
