pristiq

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.
Avatar m tn I have tried many multi-vitamins in the past and always find that something within them makes my stomach upset. Not sure if it is the iron or zinc but when i take the vitamins like B,C, D and Omegas I feel ok.
Avatar f tn Background - I take .25 or .5 mg of Xanax as needed for anxiety. I use it as a rescue drug than daily maintenance. To give yo uan idea, I have used is about 5 tiems in the past month. However, I probably needed it more often but I try to tough out situations (which isnt the best) and on the days that I don't take it, I typically feel some anxiety. When I "give in" and take it, my anxiety or panic attack is usually at least a 7 on a scale from 1-10.
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?

1489588 tn?1303998295 I also take Norco. But I WANT to take Savella and Pristiq together because FOR ME it works...why do they say I can't???? I am calling my psychiatrist today, cause I cannot take this feeling anymore. I've taken pretty much everything. I've not taken mobic, I have a friend that says it is good, but she doesn't have depression. I also hold down a full time job. Thank you and you all have a blessed day.
Avatar f tn Is it ok to mix 100 pristiq and wellbrutin I am really scared of losing my mind. But I'm in Florida On holiday and I should be happy not sad . I am ok at night when the day is over .
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 m tn It has ruined my life. The withdrawal is hell. I have become numb and in extream pain. Please do not take this but let ur doc know...I was told its the hardest drug to get of off.
Avatar m tn I came off Lexapro 20mg (was not working anymore) and my doctor put me on Pristiq 50mg and xanax. The pristiq is working good but after a couple of months now I am not so sure. I take the Xanax at night because it helps me sleep. 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 I finally was able to see the specialist and apparently sleep is MOST important with FMS. I have realized it is so true and am going to keep a journal to see what my symptoms are compared to the amount of sleep I get. I'm not sure about what meds to take to sleep, but I would suggest not taking meds you don't have to if they interfere with your sleep. Years ago I took Paxil and it made me sleep and I remember all my pain going away.
Avatar m tn I've been on Pristiq for 8 days & am very happy with it. I started it for anxiety mostly but some depression. I've lost 5 lbs. The only side effect which hasn't been terrible is nausea. If I take the pill in the a.m. after eating its better. Other than slight dry mouth I've had no other problems. I don't take any other medications - just vitamins.
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 was wide awake until about 2 this morning, Eyes wide open staring at the shadows in the corners. This morning, I took my second pill. I still feel all tingly all over, and my jaw hurts, feels like I have been with lock jaw all night. I have zombie eyes today. black bags and black pupils. I am going to give it a week before I go back to my doctor. If this is how this is going to affect me...I have to get something else.
Avatar m tn I was on klonpin forever everyday. Now i just take 10mgs of lexapro a night. I will have a bad day once in a while...but hey who doesn't...lol Never tryed pristiq, but many others.
1480469 tn?1287538953 I take Pristiq and it makes it hard for me to sleep. My doctor informed me that the pills are time released so that if I take them in the morning I'm getting most of the med around bed time. Taking the medicine at night before going to bed solved this issue. Counterintuitive but worth a try to be sure if your medicine is also time released.
Avatar f tn s true the companies are trying to keep a patented product in their lineup, Lexapro seems to have fewer side effects than Celexa, but many people do find one or the other works better. Same probably with Pristiq and Effexor. But to prescribe both at once is insane.
1390847 tn?1344657468 Last night I thought I was going to die. I was screaming at the top of my lungs for my mom to take me to the emergency room at like 2:30am. My chest felt so weak I thought my heart was going to stop working and my body was so numb that all I could feel was overwhelming nausea. I was in utter terror last night. My question is why does it seem like I've lost all control of my anxiety...after I spent months and months getting to the point where I could manage it?
Avatar f tn I started off on 150 mg generic Wellbutrin XL which was not doing much...so I was upped to 300 mg. The sweating is unbelievable! I wake up in the morning drenched. My doc and pharmacist both say it is a side effect of the Wellbutrin and that it should go away. It's been 3 weeks now and I am still sweating a lot! I take mine at night because I don't want it to affect my sleep. Although I see a lot of people take it morning...so I don't if I should be taking it at night .
Avatar m tn t get to sleep of a night and am awake till 3 and 4 am but then I find it hard to wake up in the morning not to mention the full on weird dreams. I thought at first these just might be the wonder drugs Id been hoping for BUT unfortunately they are not for me. Also I ran out for a few days and the horrible headaches and circling and zooming in your head is horrific, well that's how Id explain it feels hahah.
Avatar f tn I have, it just seems like right after I eat dinner I feel sick. It has got to the point where I am in bed by 8 because I feel so sick.
