Hi Scott,
I have been taking the Pristiq 150mgs for 16 days now. Before that, 30 days at 100mg and 30 days at 50mg.
I'm not sure why DBT was chosen, it seems to be a default treatment, with the thought that "mindfulness" will help the depression, I think...
But when I am in these crying spells, nothing can touch them or get through to me...they take over. DBT does not seem to help me with suicidal thoughts.> That's quite a bit of Pristiq. For how long have you been taking it? Beckett makes a good observation. Some people have a negative idiosyncratic reaction to a particular antidepressant. Some have made me suicidal.

Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow, someday.
