REPORT

I have been taking this medication for 1 week. I will continue to take it as I know it takes awhile for the therapeutic effect. Just wanted to mention my SE including the abd cramping, sleepyness and yawning. My anxiety is definately better, not having so many worried thoughts and sleeping a lot better at night.

Ive been taken Prestiq for 1 1/2 years now and felt good on it however I did gain approx. 20 lbs in two months which I have now also been diagnosed with borderline low Thyroid. I do not know if all of this is due to taking Prestiq or if it was a coincidence. What I do know is when I needed something for my panic attackes and restless nights Prestiq worked wonderfully. However because of my other issues I have now weened myself off of Prestiqu (which was difficult) but I know have chosen to do all natural suppliments for my Thyroid as well as my panic attacks and moodswiings. So far so good everything is working well. I chose to look more indepth with my issues but for someone that is in need of Prestiq it will work for you.

I have been taking this med for about 9 days. At first I had very srong anxiety issues, which I handles with a Xanax (only as required...low dose) Now..I feel like my energy is coming back, more positive and able to cope better. Yes sleep is a problem, but over all so far I reccomend. I'm giving it 30 days to see if it's for me. Like others have said you can't evaluate in a week or 4 days. If your really depressed try it. I've dome Wellbutiron and Effexor. This seems to be better...that's my 2 cents. Everybody is different, so if your having issues,like serratonine syndrome, don't push it. Stop...good luck

I had not trouble with my sex drive on Prozac. I'm now on Pristiq because Prozac stopped working for me. It feels like my sex drive has diminished. Does anyone else experience this? I am also 48 years old so I wonder if part of it is just that I am getting older.

I have been on prestiq for over a year. I only take 25 mg. After a number of years on zoloft (great for mood, bad for sex) I decided I wanted to find a med without sexual side effects. prestiq has been good. No weight gain and better orgasms! At first there was nausea, but stick it out a couple months, see if your body adjusts. One thing....the withdrawl is horrible if I forget to take it. Not looking forward to coming off this one if that day should ever come. frankly I am a bit melancholy on the 25 mg, but its only enough to motivate me to change the things that need to change. I felt overly complacent on the SSRIs, and always hungry. Hope this helps someone out there.

Mary, Are you still on Prestiq? You sound EXACTLY like me as far as history with these kinds of meds and I was prescribed Prestiq today. I've been on Wellbutrin for over 10 years now, and now my Dr. recommended adding Prestiq because the Wellbutrin isn't working as well. I've tried at least 10 different meds over the years. Thanks for any info.

I was on Lexapro for years and had to change to Celexa because my new insurance would not pay for the Lexapro. I like the Celexa but I feel hungry all the time and am not able to lose weight. I don't know if it's due to the Celexa but my doctor said Prestiq may help me depression and help me lose weight. I'm wondering if I should try the Prestiq.
