PROS:

It helps with menopausal symptoms. Not at cold and less racing heart.
|
|
CONS:
|
It is very costly. I have to be on the drug assistance program to get this.
|
|
I have had a very good response to this. I switched from Effexor right over to Pristique. No problems. I'm working with my doctor to lower my Lexapro Rx.

Triggered dyshporic hypomania however I now have a bipolar II dx. Didn't improve depression or anxiety. Was on 100mg dose. It hindered rather than helped me but it was just the wrong kind of medication for me.

I normally purchase prescribed medications by using americantrustpills (seriously, this place sucks) free of danger. Sadly I use to take plenty of it so minimal price is essential for me.

Works well for a while
|
|
CONS:

Bad withdrawals, increased appetite
|
|
I've been on Pristiq for almost three years now. I haven't had any problems with it except increased appetite. Withdrawals when I accidentally skip a dose are pretty bad. I'd get migraines and heart flutters. I think it's not really working right now but I might need to up my dose. The price is outrageous though, I get free samples from my doctor.

CONS:

headaches with missed doses
|

This has dramatically reduced my depression without inducing mania. I do get a pretty bad headache any day I miss a dose. Otherwise, this has dramatically helped me. First med that has. This one's a keeper for me.

Nearly killed me
|
|
Week one I had the worst painful stiff neck. Couldn't turn head from side to side. Thought I would tough it out a little longer to see if the pain would go away. It did by week two. Did nothing for depression/anxiety. Made me even MORE obsessive, raging, aggressive, increased racing thoughts, made me feel like I was on fire, lowered my immune system to the point to where I had fever after fever and infection one after another during the entire 4 months I was on it. Drove me into insanity and ended with a mal seizure and yet another trip to the hospital, this time, the medical one, not mental.

PROS:

Pristiq works for me
|
|
CONS:
|
I need 150mg per day for it to work
|
|
My Doctor started me on 50mg/day first, then 100mg/day but it wasn't until I was put on 150mg/per day that my moods stabilised & I felt I could cope. I also have to take it in the mornings as the few times I tried it at night I couldn't sleep. Overall this product is helping me with no side effects.

This works great at 100MG daily for me for depression.
I have not noticed any side effects.
Price is off the charts but in my opinion worth it,

I am still alive- , neglible side effect- I think
|
|
CONS:
|
not overly effective , pretty pricey
|
|
I have been on almost every med for major depression- I'm not bi-polar, but I don't feel good most of the time. I have felt better but I have also felt worse so it is really a coin-toss sort of med.

PROS:
|
it make me feel stable just after i take it, my anxiety has reduced by around 20%. and my depresison by 30%
|
|
CONS:
|
when i stand up or sit up to fast i gets lots of dizzy spins, my balance isnt that good(altho it never has been), and if i miss a tablet i go haywire.
|
|
if i miss just one tablet, i have a very very very bad day it normally hits in the early afternoon, e.g. bad thoughts, i get over emotional, i cry alot, i feel like i do not know what is going on. physically i get nausea and dirareer, bad headaches to. HOWEVER, when i do not miss a tablet, my day is pretty good, i have more confidence and that enables me to go out into the community i still get anxiety around strangers and when i actual get there but i am able to get there . my depression is better i dont cry as much and i am more stable and not likely to breakdown/ i feel like i can sort of cope more with fighting my depression.
i said in the cons part about my balance sometimes i loose balance standing on a flat surface, this has happened most of my life but unfortantly it has got a little worse now im on pristqi. also if just have to be careful how fast i get up/ stand up as i get dizzy spins and nausea if i do it to fast. (altho this could be the seroquel or endep i am also on, but they are taken of a night time and not a morning).

CONS:

I get nauseus, lightheaded and hot if I miss a dose
|
|
I don't always get to pick up my refills from the clinic before I run out so missing doses makes me pretty sick. For the most part though, the medication does what it's supposed to.

I know the above sounds ridiculously good, but I'm afraid it's true. Starting in 1993, I've tried every single SSRI and SNRI that came on the market. Some had side effects, some had none. Not one of them worked except Prozac, which pooped out after six weeks. I haven't the vaguest idea why Pristiq worked. I understand that Pristiq is a derivative of a drug that's been on the market for a while. I can't offhand remember its name, but I tried it too and it had no effect for me. Pristiq puts a floor down below which I cannot go in terms of depression. I used to think about s*****e absolutely ALL the time. Pristiq cut that by 95%. There are no emotional or mood side effects, just that floor. Doesn't make me sleepy or tired, doesn't make me "up" or jittery. Since we're all different, no one can promise it will work on you the way it's worked on me, but it's certainly worth a try.
