Does it do anything after 50mg??
Hello my Pristiq people!
I started Pristiq 2 months ago for anxiety. Started at 25mg, then went to 50mg a month later. I am feeling pretty good and a huge improvement for the most part. This has been the most helpful medication I have ever taken and the best I’ve felt in years. I feel like it even helps my Adderall work better. And I have motivation to actually clean things! That’s HUGE for me, you have no idea.
I am still having some additional anxiety so I’m wondering if I should bump the dose up to the next mg. I feel like that would be the sweet spot.
I’ve read a few research papers that say that there is no additional benefit from this medication after the recommended 50mg.
So I wanted to ask- has a dosage over 50mg given you any extra relief? I’m taking a few other things so I don’t want to add yet another medication for the leftover anxiety. I’ll either increase Pristiq (if it does anything) or live with the anxiety.
For those of you just starting out or who are nervous to try Pristiq because of the withdrawal, please don’t let that scare you. There are soooo many of us who feel like this is a wonder drug. ❤️
Thank you in advance for your responses!
