I was on Lexapro for 7 years and have suffered tremendous weight gain. Since switching to Pristiq the first week of August, my appetite has been under control and I'm eating much more sensibly.

What Kevin stated is correct, plus side effects can always vary from person to person, we are all different, so the way any given medication affects any one of us can be different.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Pristiq as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth.

How are you all doing, now? Have any of you experienced any changes?
