Tight Chest, Shortness Of Breath

Updated

I've been on Effexor for 11-12yrs for anxiety & myoclonus til less than 1 week ago I changed to pristiq, due to the horrible disabling side effects of Effexor (for 3 wks) if I miss 1 tablet. Pristiq has the same metaboliser as Effexor but diff main ingredient. So I had no noticeable side effects jumping from Effexor to pristiq except shortness of breath and tight chest. Which mind you is not nice. And documents state I should tell my doc straight away. Well it's Easter weekend and he's not in so I'm just hanging on til tomorrow, til he's in again. I hope

I just live with all the other stuff like the constant over sweating, no Lobido, constipation.
