My Dr. just switched me from 6/50 Symbyax to 50mg Prestiq. Symbyax worked for the first week and then seemed to stop although I continued to gain weight! 15lbs in 5 weeks! :( I just started the prestiq and I'm wondering if anyone else had made this switch and what to expect? Also, will I lose the weight as easily and quickly as I had put it on?!

Hi there
It seems that Prestiq is awfully popular lately. Seems that a lot of our members are switching to this antidepressant. I have heard mixed reviews about it from it causing stomach pain to effects on one's libido. And others really like it.
You can find out what our members are saying about Prestiq from our Member Medication Review. If you can comment as well about how it is going so far it would be greatly appreciated.
You might also want to take a look at my recent article, "Weight Gain and Depression" for the resources listed at the end.
Good luck and let us know if you need any more information or support.
