I have been on pristiq for a month now. It's my forth anti-depressant that I try and the first one that gives me positive results.

The first two weeks it aggravated my depression symptoms... I then started taking it at night time, it got better and I started feeling better but then I switched back to taking it in the morning in hope to increase the effect during the day. so far not much success...

I think I'll go back to taking it the evening, just before bed.

hey man,u just take pristiq 100mg and it will do well for u..when i started taking pristiq 50mg i experience mood swings but pristiq 100mg is doing well for me....it has least side effects....

I found taking Pristiq with a big glass of water in the morning before eating worked the best.
Although almost 3 months in im going to the doctors to find out options of what i can change to. My biggest self esteem issue is my weight & in the 3 months ive been on Pristiq i have watched what i ate & even started working out 5-6 days a week & ive climbed another 6kgs.
I dont need it!
Otherwise Pristiq worked beautifully (as long as you dont forget to take it).
I found it heightened the effects of alcohol & hangovers drastically! I would waste a whole day feeling gross & not wanting to get out of bed.
I started on 50mg for almost 2 months & now a fortnight on 100mg.
I had the nausea/vertigo/headcahes in the first week but that was to be expected.
I was diagnosed with depression, major anxiety and suffered from panic attacks and OCD when in my depressive state.

Hope this helps.

THIS IS MY 3RD DAY TAKING PRISTIQ.  I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT THE BEST TIME OF THE DAY TO TAKE IT. I TOOK ZOLOFT 200 MGS. FOR 10 YEARS AND TAKE 6 MG. XANAX A DAY FOR PANIC ATTACKS.  AFTER COMING OFF OF ZOLOFT I FEEL NAUSEATED, GET LIGHT-HEADED, AND HAVE ONLY SMOKED THREE CIGARETTES IN TWO FULL DAYS.  I HAD TO LEAVE WORK EARLY MY FIRST DAY ON PRISTIQ FROM NAUSEA AND STOMACH PAIN, 2ND DAY I TOOK PRISTIQ, I WAS EXHAUSTED AND WENT HOME RIGHT AFTER WORK AND WENT TO BED ABOUT 6 P.M  I DON'T KNOW IF THESE SYMPTOMS ARE FROM COMING OFF OF ZOLOFT OR FROM STARTING PRISTIQ.  ZOLOFT WORKED GREAT FOR ME EXCEPT NO SEX DRIVE AT ALL.  THIS IS WHY I DECIDED TO SWITCH

i have been on Pristiq for 8 months now and i also take Wellbutrin. 50mg of the Pristiq and 400mg of the Wellbutrin. Only been on the Wellbutrin for a few months. For the most part i thought i was doing alright. But now i havent gotten hardly any sleep in a week. I missed a couple doses and i wonder if this is why. I also have a constant headache. I take mine at night and then just 200mg Wellbutrin in the morning. i wonder should i try and take it at another time?  As for the sex drive...seems lately alot of it had been gone and very difficult to get to orgasm. IS this just me?

I too find my sleep very restless on Pristiq.

I have the opposite problem otherwise at the moment. It has converted the pain signak from the right entrapped inguinal nerve to pleasure, the left remains pain.  Last week the feeling of pleasure spread through the length of my penis and caused hypersensitivity there within.

This has resulted in frequent erections a few near misses and one xase where the feeling built to full orgasm causing a rather unfortunate mess. It was a good thing I was at home.

I called the company apparently I am the first to have such a problem though they said the meds could definately do that.  A nerve freezze should fix that. the sleep problem I don't know though
