Problems with Prestiq
I have been on prestiq for 3 months. The last 2 weeks it is more difficult to concentrate and I have an "I don't care" attitude that I've never had before. Is this from the Prestiq?
Hi there
It seems there are quite a few members on our site who take Prestiq now. I wish more folk would chime in about their experience with this medication.
My first suggestion is to talk to your doctor about these possible side effects to see what can be done.
In the meantime here is the official Prestiq site to read.
And here is information about side effects. It seems dry mouth, dizziness, and nausea are the most common side effects.
I have never taken Prestiq but the issues you describe seem common as a side effect for a lot of antidepressants. Personally, Prozac made me feel this way. I was neither happy nor sad...I was just...there.
Like I said before, this is probably something best discussed with your doctor to see what options you have.
Thank you for your question.

I've be on pristiq for 2 months and not real happy with it yet. I had to fight so hard to get my insurance to cover it that now I feel stuck with it. My PA would crack if I told her I wanted something else. I think I need to got to my Psychiatrist which is 60 miles away and tell him them symptoms though. Last night granted I was exhausted, I felt like I was going to go crazy. Thankfully my husband was home to help with the child. I even swore at her. She is only 3. I have always had Major Depression but on this med I almost feel Bipolar. One day great next day I'm evil. I've always been a really passive person but on this med I'll tell people off without even thinking about it. Not like me at all. I may have to go back to my good old Celexa. I tried it because it has norepher... and serotonin. Which Celexa just has serotonin. The only good thing is I do have a sexual desire which on celexa I could care less if I ever did that again. Well see I may try hold out one more month. I just hate being mean though.
