It is also making me think crazy things...
I am in serious need of help trying to withdraw from SNRI Pristiq. I tried doing it cold turkey wow what a nightmare. So I went to doing it every other day because I am on the lowest dosage I am doing it like that right now, but once it get's to being almost 48 hours of not taking it I feel terrible. I am nauseas all day and get a head rush tingling in lips and hands. I have heart palpitations that are deblitating. This is so hard I don't know how I will ever be able to STOP.
I read up on that, and it looked good up until I read the part about abnormal heart rhythms. I already suffer vasovagal syncope (rare) and palpitations, both usually stress related, so this may not be a good choice for me.

is anyone taking pristiq? my depression is lingering on since my fathers death in sept.
the doc added abilify 1mg and i felt better. then i felt the depression slipping back. the abilify was increased to 5mg. but i developed serious side effects. so now i'm on pristiq 50mgs . i've been on lexapro 20mgs for about 5 years. the doc has me down to 10 mgs lexapro for 1 week then stop it completely.
my concers are. i know nothing about this med.
I went to the pdoc and told him I was interested in trying the new Pristiq, he said it was longer lasting, which is a good thing in my book, but he said thats all he knows about the drug, I was stunned he didnt know any other information!!! So he told me to just stop taking my Effexor xr of .75mg x 3 pills a day and start taking pristiq .
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.
But I think this drug is more like an ssri than an snri, which is what effexor and pristiq are. Keep in mind effexor and pristiq are almost identical drugs, with pristiq just eliminating some of the molecules in order hopefully to reduce side effects but mostly to get new patent protection. It's like Celexa and Lexapro. This class of drugs is stimulating as it targets norepinephrine as well as serotonin, and is usually not used for primary anxiety as a result.
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.
I've had heart palpitations for 10 months, they started right after a hiatus hernia operation. I get them everyday. I get them at different times, while watching tv or just relaxing in bed, doing normal everyday things. I had blood work done and was told I was low on B12 and was told to take 1000 mcg of a supplement daily. While taking it the palpitations got stronger so I stopped taking it and they eased up.
I started noticing heart palpitations when I graduated college. It seems like my palpitations are getting worse and have now flat lined. So I do not sense that the palpitations are getting worse. I visited my doctors about them and they put me on a holter monitor and they didn't have a solution for my heart palpitations. So they decided to put me on beta blocker (Lowest Dose- Half of 25MG), which has helped a lot with my heart palpitations. I can now exercise without any palpitations.
Hi, I'm a 27 year old female, who just recently started having heart palpitations. I've had EKG's and an echo cardiogram, but my cardiologist says it's stress induced. She also told me to avoid caffeine and alcohol, get lots of sleep and drink lots of water. I've been pretty good about all of those things, trying to reduce stress in my life, but I've felt palpitations everyday for the past 3 and a half months, since the day they started.
Heart palpitations are common in pregnancy because of your increased blood volume. It also can be related to amemia..anxiety. .etc.I hope you feel better.
I have what seem to be very strange heart palpitations, a "normal" palpitation would be just a sudden "skipped" beat feeling but for me, sometimes not always, i have what feels like a skipped beat and then my heart rhythm feels "off" or if its fluttering for sometimes up to 5-10 minutes then my heart thumps and everything goes back to normal.
Tell your doctor and you all can decide if you need to see a specialist. I was having the same problem and my doctor told me absolutely no more caffeine and that has helps tramedously. I rarely have problems now.
Hey ladies im 39 weeks pregnant and ive had heart palpitations now for 5 years they ran all the tests and said its normal im also overweight hasanyone have heart palpitations and have had a healthy safe delivery im extremely worried :(
I have had problems in the past with irregular heart palpitations and visited a cardiologist. He did an EKG and Echo and the results were normal. He also checked my thyroid and everything was fine there too. I have read these events could be due to anxiety or stress but I don't really think I am stressed.
What could be some causes for this event to happen? It was extremely scary and I dont understand how my heart rate could go so high when I was just sleeping.
Only a doctor and a record of what your heart is doing can diagnose. The first step is a general physical exam, focused on the heart, and perhaps a EKG. This will not be conclusionary unless you have an "attack" when on the EKG... most of us have to wear a recording heart monitor and wear it long enough to catch the "palps"... if you have the symptoms every day a one day monitor (Halter Monitor) should do the trick.
Anyone else getting bad heart palpitations? They always say its normal but its getting really annoying. I even got sent home from work (Forever21) cuz I started crying. Its just really hard and loud. Makes it hard to sleep. How do you make it better?
I though have always had a strong visible heart. My heart has always been strong and powerful and visible! I am an athletic man'6' tall 210 lbs. I workout do martial arts, am healthy as can be. But my heart beats like a hammer in my chest. I have visible pulsations on my chest and it shakes my whole body. After exercise, you would be able to hear and see it thumping standing next to me. My Dr. says I am healthy as a Tiger and it's just from being athletic.
