3rd Week Pristiq

3rd week on pristiq and I'm still getting anxious and puking because of my anxiety. Should I give the 50 mg more time or ask for another solution?

Hello, Lola84! How are you?

It can take 4 to 5 weeks, before this medication reaches its full level of effectiveness in your body, it can also cause some increased anxiety, for awhile, while you're body is getting used to it. Thus, it may be best to give it a couple more weeks to see if things settle down and it helps you, unless your doctor feels otherwise.

The FDA lists its other typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
