Pristiq is making a difference

By panic mode1979 Tuesday, April 21, 2009

After having bad side affects from Zoloft I was reluctant to try another Antidepressant. I decided that if I was ever going to feel good I had to keep trying.After talking with my doctor he suggested trying Pristiq 50mg,because it would help with my Depression and Anxiety. I have been taking it for 3 months now and I cant believe how well it has worked! My spirits have really been lifted and my thoughts seem to be more positive. My anxiety really seems to be more under control. Now that Im feeling better I exercise more, Im losing weight and life just seems better. I am sure glad I didnt give up, and I intend to keep doing whatever it takes to be healthy and happy.

Sounds like you've really got things moving in the right direction.

 

I have been through the struggle of finding the right medication at the right dose. That in itself can be a depressing task.

 

But nice to hear the story of success.

I am so glad you found something which works for you and also that you have come to share this with us.

 

So many forums are filled with all the negatives about the medications and it is totally necessary to discuss those negatives yet it seems rare when something works out that this is also talked about.

 

Coincidentally I have just asked our members to chime in to answer my question of the week which is to share success stories about their antidepressants.  Was wondering if you could add your experience there as well.  Here is the link.

 

Thank you for sharing your experience here with us!
