b2chica,
I actually was wrong about the taper. I am on the full dose of Wellbutrin for '2' weeks with the Pristiq, then on the 3rd week going to half the dose of WB, then the Pristiq alone after week 3. Hope this isn't too fast and hope this will work.
Thanks for telling me how long it could take Pristiq to work. How long have you been on it now? Is it still working?
