Just started on Pristiq yesterday and am experiencing bad nausea and feelings of a cold....light headedness, fatigue, etc. Anyone else deal with this when they started? Does it pass? Suggestions for relief?

I'm not familiar with this drug but it sounds like you really need to call your doctor about these symptoms.

I am on Pristiq and didn’t have any of those symptoms when I started. As the previous poster suggested, best to speak with your doctor
Thanks for this!

Agree with the others that you talk to your doc ASAP. It could be normal size effects or you could be having an allergic reaction. If that’s the cause you need to nip it in the bud.
