Why am I sleepy all the time?
Hey all! Ok so I started Pristiq 3 months ago at 50mg. I had constant nausea and constant heartburn. I was miserable. I would literally wake up in the middle of the night to vomit. After 3 weeks I decided to ween off of it. I had discontinuation syndrome for 4 weeks. Then I tried Viibryd. I liked it because it didn’t make me sleepy, but it started to make me irritable and cranky all the time so I stopped taking it. Now I’m back on Pristiq. I started at 25 mg and that helped a lot. Very minimal side effects so I went up to 50 mg after 3 weeks. So it’s been a week on 50 and I’m so sleepy all the time. The 25 mg actually gave me energy, but definitely wore off so I thought that was a good time to move to 50. Now I feel like there’s been zero difference between the 25 and 50 except for the sleepiness. I know it can take up to 8 weeks to feel the full effects, but this is strange to me. I thought I would start to feel something by now and I definitely didn’t think it was going to make me so tired. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I stick it out? I can’t be on meds that make me drowsy. My motivation is already low. Oh also I’m on 450 mg a day of Wellbutrin and have been for about 8 years.
