Pristiq-When do side effects stop?

Posted by Pretty Depressed on June 15, 2009, at 20:23:54

I have been taking Pristiq for 4 weeks. I also take Ritalin and Wellbutrin. I was put on Pristiq after about 6 months on Celexa (plus Wellbutrin and Ritalin) with only minor improvement of my depression. For the first 2 weeks on Pristiq I felt a lot better, but now not so much. Plus it is making me clench my jaw, causing pain in head and neck. Advil does nothing for this pain, today I had such a bad headache all day I thought I would have to leave work. Can anyone tell me if these side effects eventually go away? I have to see my pdoc for the 1st follow up since going on Pristiq and I know he's about ready to throw up his hands, he doesn't seem to know what else to do. If I fail Pristiq I'm afraid there's no hope, but I don't know how much longer I can stand the headaches and muscle tension. I really don't want to go back to an SSRI because they all cause anorgasmia, which I don't have on Pristiq. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
