Yeh, I didn't really want to try an SNRI, but both my GP and then a psych said I needed one. I'm just taking it to get it over with. They seem to have a protocol. Try an SSRI, try an SNRI, added Wellbutrin. I've already tried an SSRI and wellbutrin, so I just need to try an SNRI and hopefully I'll be able to get whatever I want. (yeh right)
Actually pristiq surprised me. I noticed an increase in what can only be described as "color" around me. Usually I only feel it in fleeting moments but that seemed to increase on pristiq after the first day. I think this is from the boost of norepinephrine. It even seemed to improve my sex drive for awhile. Desipramine also can have an effect after the first few dosages. Unfortunately that feeling faded, probably because pristiq isn't a very potent NRI and I'm starting to get some of the spacey feelings that I get from an SSRI. I will probably try 100mgs and have the same thing happen again. Then have the privilage of stopping the drug.
Post-SSRI syndrome: iatrogenic anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. [NOTE no sadness or anxiety, this is NOT depression!]
Current med: 50mg pristiq
