Hi,

I'm currently on 50 mg of Pristiq. When I accidentally skip a dose, I know because I start to feel sick. Getting off Effexor once kicked my butt--for a long time. Don't know what to expect from Pristiq in terms of length of time of discomfort. I just don't expect withdrawal (for me) to be too easy. (Not that I am discontinuing--see above thread!)

P.S. I withdrew from Lexapro with prozac--w/ my pdoc. That was easier.
