Today at the IOP the doctor decided to start an antidepressant for my current episode. I start desvenlafaxine (Pristiq) tomorrow morning. I was hesitant to fill the prescription because of prior experience with antidepressants.
He said if antidepressants dont help I'm gonna have ECT.

Anyone else try desvenlafaxine before? Did it work? What side effects did you get?
