Sweetcakes,
I hope by now you have seen your doctor regarding these symptoms, if not get there asap, this is not normal
& have them help you in getting off the Pristiq!
I also took this drug and it was the worst both while I was on it and getting off is very difficult it was for me anyway - so like Verwon said please seek medical attention you have to be monitored while taking these drugs. Take care, and keep us posted, Jan

No, it should only take about 4 to 6 weeks.

If you're still feeling that awful, it would probably be a good idea to talk to your doctor. This most likely just isn't the right medication for you.

Have you tried any others, or just this one?
