Hi-
I am currently on 60mg of Cymbalta daily. I received samples from the psych NP. I have been on it since July 2013. I cannot take SSRI's as they cause problems with my neuro issue. What experience do others have with Pristiq? I tried it about 3 yrs ago and experienced headaches...I did not even give it a month. I did experience headaches w/ Cymbalta in the beginning, but pushed through them. I know the NP has samples of Pristiq available. Any input/thoughts, would be most welcome. I cannot afford generic Cymbalta and I do not have insurance. Thanks. __________________ KIRBY DXS: MDD, PTSD, GAD. . I believe there are others. RX: Wellbutrin XL, 300 mg tablet daily, in AM |

After unsuccessfully trying many others, I have found Pristiq to work great. No major side effects or anything, and it's the only one that I have really noticed a difference in my mood. If you have free samples of Pristiq, and you cant afford anything else, you might as well go for it? If you get back headaches again then you can always stop, and you might have a little bit of relief in your mood/anxiety? Good luck!

Cymbalta was more effective than Pristiq, but it stopped working after about two years.

Pristiq is very expensive and there is no generic. After your samples, how would you pay for it?

I tried Cymbalta for about 18 months. I was on 120mg. The side affects kicked in so is switched to Pristiq. The side affects from the Pristiq kicked in after a couple of months so I changed to Lovan. Both Cymbalta and Pristiq had side affects. So I am not a fan of either.
