My psych dr agreed with me that I had been taking Effexor for a long time and wanted to change to something different. I was on it for almost 10 years.

I am now taking Pristiq, have been for the last 5 weeks. Now since then, my appetite is bananas, I'm sleepy all the time ( I yawn non stop at the gym), my joints ache.

THe most common side effect is loss of appetite and weight loss.

Well, not here lol

I believe I'm having some paradoxical effects. I want off this STAT!

Can anyone relate?

Since starting Prozac and cutting the pristiq in half I'm feeling great!

Losing the 10 lbs and it's such a difference. 5lbs so far and hopeful continuing. Thank you for your support

We are one of the few Prozac works for. I am so happy it is working for you! I admire you also for moving forward in changing your doc...true they may know more professionally...but we know our bodies.

Keep us informed on your progress please. ????
