I'm currently taking:
-lithium 450 mg 3 times daily -olanzapine 20 mg once daily -xanax .5 mg 3 times daily I was just put on Pristiq my last visit for my depression symptoms. I was wondering if anyone else has had any success with this med? I'm really hoping this works, I'm so tired of feeling so depressed. It seems like the depression is 10 times worse now that my other symptoms are under control. |

I have been on Pristiq and it is a very 'activating' anti-depressant. Even though I am on Lithium it made me agitated and a little manic. It did get rid of the depression though so hopefully the Olanzapine and Lithium will put a lid on the mania and allow you to still experience a lifting of the depression. All the best.
