Common Questions and Answers about Pristiq morning or night

pristiq

Avatar f tn I am just curious to hear about any personal experiences you may have had with Pristiq and/or Effexor. My doctor has been favoring Pristiq but with no real valid reasons why and when I researched the two, based on clinical findings, I'm not sure that Pristiq is really better than Effexor. Thoughts?
603543 tn?1255294450 If it keeps you awake at night then take in the the morning or noon. If it makes you sleepy then take in in the evening. You should do well on it. I have found it to be a very clean antidepressant. Weith makes it and they really know their stuff. They have some of the best antidepressants in the world.
1326513 tn?1276518001 The meds your taking will cause you to feel tired. Are you taking the Seroquel at night or in the morning? I've heard it's best to take it at night because it can be very sedating. Toporal will keep your heart rate and blood pressure down, which I'm sure you already know. What dose of Seroquel are you taking?

Avatar f tn on Monday,Sept 5th had an appoitment with Psychiatrist, and after i explained her my symptons,( i also cried,was overwhelmed) she said I had a severe depression, so she also prescribed me Pristiq 50mg one tablet per day in the morning after breakfast. I never took the Pristiq i am scared of the side effects,So all this time since September 3rd until ,now October 13th, I've been only on Clonazepan,I am scared of becoming an addict as I have read these pills tend to be addictive.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Pristiq for about two weeks. I have energy, I left my house the other morning, and I actually laugh and kid like a real person. In the morning I still can cry so I'm not stoned or anything from it. Some people say they can't sleep. I take Advil pm. or no brand sleep aids. (cheap). So I don't know about that. Right now there is no generic. But I think its worth a try. I've tried so many different ones. So far for me that is the best.
Avatar f tn I called in to the doctor's office for a refill on my Pristiq. The doctor that prescribed my medication recently left the practice. I assume that is why the current physician will not see me until I come in. Today, we moved our patients to our brand new hospital- where I work. My schedule for the next few weeks is basically to work night and day. I am unable to go to a doctor's appointment right now. I cannot miss work.
Avatar f tn I'm currently on Pristiq, but that may change as they are leaning now more towards a Fibromyalgia dx and not just depression. Although, my neuro did say that Pristiq would probably help with the fibro symptoms as well and with my headaches. I do have less headaches and feel better mood and concentration wise, but I'm not sure how long I will be able to tolerate not sleeping. I almost hate to stop the pristiq, though, because I really do feel it is helping me....

Avatar f tn My son is 20, and has recently been treated with drugs for psychosis and depression (zyprexa and pristiq). He tells me that he has had drugs before but isn't addicted to them, and his psychosis and anxiety had nothing to do with drugs.
Avatar f tn I went to a GP today, thinking I may have a virus or something. She said she would NEVER prescribe both Effexor and Pristiq together. I'm pretty confused on which doctor I'm supposed to believe. I'm going to try to stop the Pristiq, but am not sure what will happen. Has anyone taken both meds successfully?
Avatar f tn I have just started taking Pristiq after being on Effexor-XR for a long time and I'm wondering if anyone out there has had any good experiences with Pristiq, and if so could they please share them?
Avatar m tn I am a 45 year old male and suffer from GAD and mild deppresion. Should I try something stronger or seek therapy or what? Has anyone else experienced this or on Pristiq? I feel like I am sputtering out here. Any help very much appreciated.
Avatar f tn First, did you taper slowly off the Pristiq first before switching to Cymbalta? If not, it could be a withdrawal symptom. Second, these are both stimulating antidepressants targeting norepinephrine as well as serotonin, and if you're not metabolizing the Cymbalta as well as you did the Pristiq you might be missing the artificial stimulation of adrenalin you get from this class of drugs.
3215224 tn?1345829226 now i am back on full 50mgs but i fond out my new ins. will not pay for the pristiq or the dr. i go to that perscibes it. I do not no what is going to happen now. Do u have any suggestions?
Avatar f tn I have been on it for 2 years. I take Pristiq in the morning,one half tablet of klonopin during the day and a whole tablet at night. I have been trying to ge off loraz.so am trying to take it every other day. Have been having trouble sleeping, dreams, hallucinations!!! All these meds. I don't know what is really working and what is making me feel worse!!! Pristiq has been okay but I can not really say for sure that I really benefit from it. Good Luck!
Avatar m tn About early december 2009, I decided to try Pristiq for my anxiety since I had already taken effexor for 2 years few years ago and it supposed to be very similar. I took pristiq for almost 3 weeks and quicly stopped it due to a major panic episode one night where all of a sudden i had extreme anxiety and racing thoughts. Due to this episode my doctor told me that it didn;t feel that I was a right candidate for this medicine anyways and gave me xanaz for whenever needed.
1480469 tn?1287538953 sounds like you need to go to your doctor and see if he or she can prescribe you a different type of medicine that will help you sleep...good luck!
Avatar f tn Just started ativan last night and I can barely stay awake today..also on ativan and abilfy..is this normal will the drowiness go away?
Avatar n tn this is what pristiq was doing to me until i took a zanex 30 min ago....i know the feeling! i was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and severe depression but the dr. wasnt 100% sure if i was or was not bi polar one...so she prescribed me 50 mg pristiq and 25 mg lamictal. she told me if i was in fact bi polar that the pristiq would make me go totally manic. just 3 days in and i am totally manic. totally completely it is scary. unless i am doing something at all times i am losing it.
Avatar m tn as they call them (think it was brain zaps - felt like suddenly i got a shock to my head particularly moving it quickly) I suggest taking a few days off when you need to stop this medication (if you go cold turkey). i also think the longer you are taking pristiq or any antidepressant for that matter, the worse you should expect the discontinuation symptoms. remember stopping it doesnt mean you are withdrawing (that is when you are addicted to the meds) but instead your body is adjusting.
Avatar m tn Is Pristiq more simillar to Effexor or Effexor XR? When does the Effexor patent run out and when will a generic effexor be available?
Avatar m tn Generally I feel good considering with my schedule I only average about 5 hours sleep per night. I just want to make sure I dont take to much of any one vitamin or a bad combination. I have heard that to much vitamin B or D for example can be hard on the liver.
