Sounds like a good plan. Where are you now with it? ~Dwight
> I'll keep an eye open for Pristiq - it's not available in Canada yet. Meanwhile, I'll ask my Dr. about switching back to Cipralex (Lexapro) when I see him next - might be a couple of weeks, I have a feeling he's on holiday. I don't recall having any weight gain on Cipralex and it was fast-acting & amazingly side-effect free (except the doggone sex thing, which was one reason I switched to Remeron in the first place).
