I was always of the opinion that side affects started when you started a medication of shortly after you increased the dosage.

I have been on 100mg of Pristiq for 6 weeks. I had been having a few twinges of pins and needles in my toes but last night the pins and needs cranked up to include my feet and hands. I thought my extra blurry vision was due to reading too much until I read the CMI information sheet. Blurry vision is also listed.

As I wont be seeing my p'doc for another 2 weeks I will make the decision to drop it back to 50mg and see what happens. But I know my p'doc wont consider that enough as a therapeutic dose for depression. So I will possibly find myself trying another medication.

Over many years I have been on heaps of different medications. The only one that seemed to work was Serzone but that has been taken off the market in Australia.

I have nothing against taking medication but it seems that my body will spit the dummy against these foreign invaders. It would be nice if I didn't have to be on anything.
