I am so sorry if there is a thread for this, but I need some advice.
I was on Cymbalta for about 3 years, which did absolutely nothing. So I stopped taking it about 4 months ago. Well, needless to say, things got worse then they already were. My GP put me on Pristiq, 50 mg. Basically, after ONE tablet, I had NO appetite. I ate nothing the whole day. Further more, I had NO sleep that night. And the following morning, I still wasn't tired, although I could feel my eyes dropping, I was wide awake. And I know it's also normal when starting medication, but the urge to hurt myself was also really strong. I am kind of scared to take another. I skipped 2 days after the first tablet. I called my doctor but the nasty receptionist wouldn't let me speak to him and it takes days to get an appointment. What should I do? |

I took Pristiq for a short time and didn't have any of those problems with it.

Per the p NP I saw, Pristiq is the "cleaner" version of effexor....made by the same company.
I was on Pristiq, but only a few weeks as it caused me migraines. Call your Dr back....too bad for the receptionist.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
