I have been on Prestiq for 6 mths now. I have absolutely no side effects. I am always in a good mood even when the stress is on overload. Things don't get to me like they use to and I basically take everything in stride. What does worry me & extremely scares me is what it does to me when I miss a dose or have run out of my prescription & it takes a few days to get refilled. About 3 mths ago, I ran out for about 1 1/2 wks before I could get a refill. I absolutely fell into a deep depression so much so that my work told me to stay home and get some rest. I did nothing but cry almost constantly. I have not been like that in almost 25 years. It was like I could not control my emotions or my feelings at all. After I had my prescription filled, I was back to my usual "Happy-Go-Lucky" self. A few time since then, I have missed 1 dose....when I do, everyone around me knows it. I am extremely moody, will snap @ anyone over nothing, completely stressed all day. This past Saturday, I noticed I only had 3 "50mg" left. Payday the upcoming Friday. I thought well I will space them out, 1 every other night til payday. I was just promoted to Manager at my job last week. Yesterday was the most Stressful Day @ work than I have ever had. I thought I was going to pull my hair out. I was in Panic Mode all day and felt like I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Absolutely Miserable & nightmares when I went to sleep last night. Early this morning I went straight to Walgreens, refilled my prescription and went ahead & took 1 pill even though I normally take them at night. Although today was twice as busy as yesterday and today I was handling things all on my own without additional help...I stayed in a great mood, actually worked 4 hours after my quiting time and have been in an absolutely AWESOME mood.
I Love how Prestiq makes me feel and how it relieves so much stress. But it has me scared to death of the effects it has on me that I can not control whatsoever when missed even in very small amounts. It would terrify me of what might happen if I was ever to try and be weened off the med. I have made a doctor's appt for this upcoming Monday to talk to my Doctor about this.    Has anyone out there had any of these experiences that I have had with Prestiq? And if so, any advice @ all would be greatly welcomed!!
