I cannot take SSRIs. But I seem to do pretty good with depression when I take SNRIs.
Here's the issues:
Cymbalta made me feel flat, no feelings, no personality, nothing. Felt dead inside.
Pristiq helps the depression and anxiety, but gives me terrible stomach pains and gas, like IBS. Also, no sex drive.
I would like to stick it out on the Pristiq with the hopes that the noisey gasy stomach pains and lack of sex drive will go away in time.
Has anyone had experience with this? Do these side effects go away? How long do you wait it out to see?
