I'v been on Pristiq for 7 weeks now (the first 4 weeks at 50mg, the rest at 100mg). So far it hasn't had much of a positive effect -- perhaps a slight mood elevation, but very negligible compared with my experience on Prozac. Side effects are as mild as the primary effects -- slight drowsiness in the afternoons, a slight lessening of sex drive and performance (but nothing as drastic as I felt on Prozac). No weight gain or loss.
At this point I will stick it out for the remainder of my 8-week prescription. But I am wondering now if this drug is for me. Not a lot of bang for the buck.
