yes Scott. me.
effexor didnt work in that it gave me horrible rapid cycling, way up and way down, i felt 'unreal' i had visual issues and extreme anxiety.i have responded i think quite well to Pristiq. i still struggle but i must say i'm WAY better than i have in the past or on any other medication.
the only bad thing is it took me about 12weeks before pristiq really kicked in. and it's not just me. everyone that i know that its worked for it has taken no less than 8 to kick in. average 10 weeks.
my current cocktail is:
pristiq 50mg
perphenazine 2mg BID
adderall 20mg TID
Gabapentin 300mg TID or PRN
xanax 2mg
