It is an SSNRI and is supposed to be activating. I took Pristiq for a year and it didn't cause anxiety nor was it activating. Didn't work that well but it did work to a degree.
Now I am on Fetzima and SSNRI and it is very activating for me. 6 weeks now and a lot of feeling wired and hypomania. Han't increased anxiety though.
Are you sure it is anxiety and not just feeling wired? there is a difference.
Hopefully it will go away for you.
