I would have posted this update on my thread from last month,but another babble user hijacked the thread.
I've seen many posts around the web saying that Effexor and Pristiq are chemically the same. Maybe they are, but they metabolize differently. I was a long time Effexor user. I've switched from 150mg Effexor to Pristiq 100 and the results have been amazing. I only had mild symptoms for a few days after cuttingi the Effexor cold turkey. Much more uplifting! I think ithe fact that Pristiq works more on noradrenalin than Effexor is what I needed. When I previously tried higher doses of Effexor, I got extreme dry mouth and trouble sleeping. Not so with the Pristiq. If Effexor has pooped out on anyone, don't let anyone talk you out of trying Pristiq.
