I thought I finally found the antidepressant that would work for me even though pristiq is not covered in the province I live. Suddenly at seven weeks on pristiq I started to feel anxious and became agitated very easy. I almost feel like I did when I was a teenager, on the verge of tears and very hard to get along with. I am 60. I have been experiencing this for three days and just can't figure it out. I am going to start a new job in a week and am afrai.d this new reaction will interfere. I am desperate to feel normal again

Sorry about the problems that you're having.

What type of doctor are you seeing, just a general practitioner or a specialist?

What dosage of the Pristiq are you taking?

Learn more Pristiq details here.

At 60, whether you are male or female, you could still be experiencing some hormonal fluctuations that could be causing these symptoms.
