Pristiq had been really good for me so far. I've only been on it a couple of weeks. But I have been on Effexor and every other SSRI and they all either pooped out or made me agitated. I can't even tell I'm Prisiq except that I am not really depressed right now and I'm anorgasm- major drag. I'm hoping that is due to low estrogen levels. I wouldn't know for sure until I've increased my estrogen for a few weeks.
I think Pristiq is worth a try. I am taking it with a lot of other stuff, like remeron and seroquel and klonopin and provigi. It's possible the remeron or the seroquel are keeping me from getting agitated. Won't know until I try decreasing them. But I'm not sure what to do next. I'm kind of feeling "if it's not broke don't fix it." On the other hand, I am still feeling more anxiety than I would like and I'd like to be taking less meds, especially seroquel because of the long term side effects.
Hope this helps.Zana
