In reply to Pristiq success after Effexor failure?, posted by SLS on April 21, 2010, at 16:12:23
I love Pristiq and couldn't stand Effexor. Start up with Effexor made me want to crawl out of my skin and I couldn't get past it. Pristiq is great, very minimal start up side effects - just a headache for the first week. Pristiq does take a long time to kick in, however, with gradual change in depression and anxiety levels. Able to handle things much better, still feel anxiety, but can shake it off easier. Don't ruminate as much. I have been on a lot of meds and Pristiq is my favorite thus far.
