Lexapro Switch 30 Mg

Updated

I have been on lexapro 30 mg for 5 years- enough is enough so I switched to pristiq 50 mg- that is the lowest dose of pristiq and what I want to be on after being tired of side effects- how long should withdrawal symptoms last- it's day 12 without any lexapro and day 12 of 50 mg pristiq and I feel awful.

At this point, you are probably experiencing withdrawal effects from stoping the Lexapro, as well as side effects from starting the Pristiq, so it may take a couple weeks for things to settle back down and for you to feel better.

Has there been any improvement, yet?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Pristiq as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness, anxiety, vision changes and loss of libido.

The price of lexapro really got me, but I found it only costs $8 with an RX Savings Card.

Thanks Vermon,

I'm feeling better each day and the pristiq is making me feel calm and relaxed more and more each day too.
