Common Questions and Answers about Does pristiq help with anxiety
pristiq
When I first started taking medication for anxiety and depression, I took Effexor. Over aobut 2 months, I gradually felt better. My doctor prescribed Valium along with the Effexor until the med kicked in and we got the dose set. Having both worked very well for me. As the Effexor kicked in we weaned off the Valium. I took Effexor 75 mg for three years with very good results (I promise I will get to Prisiq soon.
According to the PDR, the administration of Pristiq is recommended as follows:
"once daily with or without food, do not crush, chew, divide or disslove."
But if your doctor has written that you should take it at a specific time, follow his directions.
hylands restless legs is for restless leg syndrome,that feeling you get in your legs like you gotta move them all the time when you are at rest,like something is crawling under your skin and you just gotta move,how long have you been taking pristiq? if I'm not mistake it is an antidepressant isn't it? Does your doctor know you are trying to stop if not you should contact him or her and they should set you up with a taper plan,how long were you taking it?
Have you ever been on an anti anxiety med before? I'm kind of surprised your Dr would have you on Pristiq alone for anxiety if you don't have depression. It's true that antidepressant meds can help with anxiety but Pristiq is usually prescribed along with an antidepressant if it's not helping much. Can you get in to see your Dr to talk about getting off the Pristiq and getting on an anti anxiety med?

I've been on provigil for a year and a half now- as needed (my job requires shift work). I also take pristiq for anxiety in which I've had for many years. In the last six months I've been dealing with w lot of troubling events that have taken a toll on me, my emotions, my stress level. In the last month or so I've noticed that I get really bad anxiety/nervousness about ten minutes after taking my provigil. It never used to do that before.
I have OCD with panic disorder and was in a bad way with horrible panic and anxiety. The Pristiq worked well but slow. My Doc raised my doses in 50 ml increments until I got up to 200 ml. I felt better little bits at a time but it really kicked in at 200 ml. It goes slow but it does work. Don't give up on it too soon. Don't be afraid to go up in dosage a little bit at a time. I've heard of people going up to 400ml.
Hi. I tried Pristiq in an attempt to help with menopausal symptoms. I was (and am) on Effexor XR, and Pristiq is almost identical to Effexor XR. I think the only difference is in their molecules. I didn't find Pristiq any better (for me) than Effexor XR, so I went back to Effexor XR. I wish you the best of luck with it. I hope it works for you.
Yes, Klonopin would relieve the anxiety that you're feeling but proceed with caution because Klonopin daily with Wellbutrin over long periods, will make the benzo withdrawal much harder / dangerous while on Wellbutrin.
Pristiq is approved for depression, but may also help with panic disorder and anxiety.
First morning, I had little nausea for an hour but didint have really side effects. But I have extrasystoles everyday since. I had that with effexor and pristiq in the past. My doc told me brintelix wouldnt be suppose to give me that when she prescribed it to me. So im asking, could this be cause by the new med or from the quitting of zoloft!
Im scared to make an heart attack or something! I just dont kow what to do cause it scares me a lot!
