In reply to Could 150mg pristiq work for GAD where 100 didn't?, posted by TriedEveryMedication on October 31, 2022, at 14:31:44
> Have pretty severe GAD. Been on 50mg pristiq for almost a year. Hasn't done a lot. I tried 100mg and it seemed to move the needed a little, but I dropped back down to 50mg because I was getting lethargic.
I'd say go up in dose. I dropped my dose and my anxiety whipped my *ss!! I also added a very tiny bit of a powerful dopamine agonist, bromocriptine. My lethargy disappears with this stuff. Amantadine and pramipexole...and rotigotine are other powerful ones. They will put you over the top. Also, get your testosterone levels checked.
p.s. also strongly consider adding pregabalin (Lyrica)..it's like a powerful, long acting benzo.
You really should go for this angle...boosting dopamine and gaba.Jay
