Just wanted to say that I am now on day 46 of Pristiq and I am feeling so much better. The first 4 weeks were rough and I was so tired. I do have ADHD and take 20 mg IR of Adderall so my only complaint is I definitely have increased heart rate and sometimes my right hand tremors. Has anyone experienced that?

I am having anxiety still so my doctor may add another medication but we are going to reevaluate in a few weeks.

For anyone that just started, definitely stick it out!

I am on 50 mg. I don’t feel any different than when I started. I also take 20 mg Adderall IR for ADHD which I also don’t think works but that’s neither here nor there.

I certainly suffer from depression and anxiety. This weekend I’ve basically spent the entire time in bed. I forced myself to get out of bed last night and go to the gym because that makes me feel better. I slept like shit and was up on and off all morning from 2am - 7am. Instead of waking up, I went back to bed until 11am.

I just don’t feel any better. Brain fog is terrible. Maybe I’m just doomed but I was really hoping this would be the medication for me.

When does it get better?
