Hello. I am curious about how you've done since writing this and what your reaction has been to Pristiq. I relate so much to your post. I could have written much of it myself. Most concerning to me right now is the increase in the anger and aggression I feel, particular when dealing with my small children. This depresses me greatly, in addition to an overall sense of blah that exists in my life most days. I should add that I have been dependent on prescription pain meds previously, and the post-acute withdrawal/depression could be lingering. I am a Registered Nurse and find it difficult to confide in many professionals. I do have a psychiatrist, but her visits are short and there is little, if any discussion about my personal life, but rather just about how I'm feeling and current meds (I take 300mg Neurontin 2-3 times a day for anxiety). I was given Cymbalta, but felt like I was in a daze and found it difficult to keep up with my children. My dad has been on Pristiq for several weeks with good results and I am considering taking it. Oh, I also was diagnosed with ADD when I was 34 (less than three years ago), but have never been treated. I wonder if it is true, and if it is part of the reason I feel overwhelmed much of the time. I am a perfectionist, but lack the focus or ambition to accomplish tasks, which leads to chaos in my home and makes me very anxious and depressed. I appreciate any information, insight, or experiences you have to share.
