Just Started Pristiq 50mg.

I am on my 6th day of Pristiq 50mg. and I am starting to feel like my old self. Still tired off and on. The first 4 day were hell. I felt awful. I felt nauseous, had a reoccurring small headache. My legs were achy and couldn't sleep. I finally took 1/2 of a Ativan (2.5mg) and that helped a lot. Each day gets better, so maybe there is hope yet. I hope so. Other antidepressants haven't done anything but make me lethargic.

Hello, Andy Girl! How are you doing now that a few weeks have passed?

I really hope the Pristiq works well for you, many people have had good results with it.

The nausea, headache, aches and insomnia are all normal side effects, when you first start taking it.
