So here I am nearly 2 weeks in and I'm still really tired, weak, and TMJ has flared up horribly!! Of all the side effects being tired is one I knew I would not tolerate but now I have 3 total I will not tolerate: teeth clenching/grinding, fatigue, and weight gain. Teeth clenching/grinding is a big deal because when my TMJ gets really bad I become extremely dizzy and have to take Dramamine which knocks me out and I can not work.

Since my TMJ is so bad I'm coughing up a storm, people think I'm dying because it's such a bad hacking cough. I don't think I'll be able to complete the month trial... my body is so worn down by the TMJ, fatigue, and weakness.

Although I must say the depression/panic attacks are still GONE! So Pristiq does it's job as far as that goes! Unfortunately, I can get the same from Celexa and it doesn't cause TMJ issues or body weakness, just the Fatigue and weight gain.
