Just curious if anyone else is on this anti depressant. I take 50mg a day. Its a new drug so not many people know about it.

Yes i do feel better. Not completely and I am still not my old self but I am getting there. Very slowly. Still have my bouts of depression and anxiety. I think its hormonal mostly. Thank for asking Noelle

That's great news Holly. It may take time but it sounds like you are on the right path and meds. I am thinking of you. Stay positive.

Oh and I also wanted to mention that my chiro said that taking magnesium and calcium supplements can also help ease PMS symptoms, you might want to give that a try along with the Pristiq??

I was on Pristiq and went up to 400mg.but still suffered with depression. I am on an older medicine-tofranil- the side effects are hard-dry mouth, occ. dizziness, sweating- anybody out there ever been on it?
