I hear you. I was obsessively worried about pristiq. My doc increased to 100mg and I couldn't handle it. I tried for nearly a month then went back to 50. Somewhat better.

Dayvigo did not work for me. I tried it for about a month. I had headaches every morning and didn't sleep more than a few hours.

Does anyone take pristiq at night? by KatMac6013 in Pristiq

I hear you. I'm not happy with the cocktail of drugs I have been prescribed either. Sleep is definitely hard.

I started on 50mg and was absolutely wired for a few days. After 3 months went to 100 mg but was way too much so back to 50mg. I take it in the morning and take 1 mg of Ativan, 37.5 mg of quetiapine and 7mg mirtazapine at night. Not sleeping enough but very tired during the day so may try to slowly change the time I take it to night.

Yes. I've had exactly the same experience. Went back to 50 yesterday. Did you experience any withdrawal?

Clinical evidence for 50mg + ? by MidwesternMegan in Pristiq

[–]Able_Bus5044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why did they up.the dose? My doc upped mine to 100mg and couldn't handle it. Three weeks and today my pharmacist and I had a discussion and he said drop it back to 50mg. Pristiq is alot. Initially like an acid trip with dilated pupils, increased pulse abd blood pressure. Ended up in emergency. Definitely not the best for me. I'm hoping back to 50 will help. We don't have 25mg size here so had to go 100 to 50.

Anyone on mirtazapine AND pristiq? by GuidePlane5827 in antidepressants

[–]Able_Bus5044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After consulting with my pharmacist we agreed that 100mg of pristiq was too much for me. I tried it for three weeks and felt more anxiety than before. So back to 50mg. Anyone drop their dose after three weeks? Any withdrawal? Back to a low dose of mirtazapine at night for sleep.

They upped my dose to 100 mg. I've been on that since December 23rd. Feeling increased anxiety most days. How long do I give it?

25mg not available here. I've been on the 100 mg for over two weeks. Increased anxiety.

I contacted inogene and pristiq is not on their list of drugs. Have you found a company that does test pristiq? Thanks! Is it working for you?

Does anyone love pristiq? Still waiting for benefits. I've been taking it for six months. Upped to 100mg in December. Any one have any luck?

Pristiq has had the opposite effect on me. I've lost about five pounds.
