Doesn't say alot for the genetic testing as far as a low side effect profile. The side effects may go away if you stick it out but maybe they are just to intolerable.
Be interesting to hear what your pdoc says. I find the fatigue and weakness a very odd side effect for Pristiq but everyone is different.
Are you thinking of giving wellbutrin a try?

I was taking Celexa before but after 7 years it caused extreme fatigue (worse than what I have now), weight gain, and frequent urination. I stopped taking Celexa because of the extreme fatigue. I couldn't handle it anymore. I was on 80mg of Ritalin with Celexa at one point and was still tired. We finally realized Celexa was causing the tiredness. Switched to Lexapro, which did not make me tired but also did not help depression or anxiety very much, plus it had many other side effects.
Pdoc put me on Pristiq hoping it would be activating and help with depression/anxiety. However I told pdoc that I would not accept 2 side effects: fatigue and weight gain. I had no idea an AD could cause TMJ but this one has it in the list of side effects.
TMJ has recently been a huge issue for me, just got it about a year ago and it's been a huge struggle ever since to get a mouth guard/medicine to help me heal. I was out of work for awhile because when my TMJ is bad it makes me extremely dizzy.
So now here I am with the TMJ back and today I am dizzy again.
The TMJ has been under control for about a month until now.
Yes, I am now thinking about trying Wellbutrin. I have to try something else, this is very painful.
