10 days on Pristix, very good.

Posted by Newo38 on August 2, 2009, at 12:20:53

I am reporting because I rarely see a positive report on a drug, that is probably because when people are doing well they don;t need to ask for advise.
I started Pristiq 10 days ago and it is really good. I am much less depressed than on Celexa and have more energy but no anxiety, I feel stronger.
As for sexual side effects, I feel a decrease in libido, similar to celexa. However, I was on ads for years including celexa and was hypersexual so maybe it is because I'm getting older (38). I dont have impo or delayed just less desire.

I actually gained weight on Celexa. My doc is going to have me try 50mg of Pristiq.

Are you taking any other meds with it? Or is Pristiq your only med?

Have you noticed and weight loss / gain or appetite changes?

My doc suggested also adding Wellbutrin to it if I have sexual problems.
