Hi, there, was taking Pristiq for 2 yrs 50mg, was good but very big weight gain. So i decided to come off it. Not too bad. For 5 days i cut tablet in half, for 5 days went to quarter, then stopped. Had a little stomach cramping for a day or so, my head felt a little wobbly at times while on quarter, only down fall is really bad dreams. Been free from Pristiq for about 1 week now and all is well.
