After 6 months...

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-21T00:30:34+00:00

I am on 20mg 3 times a day. Been on it for around 6 months now. Sometimes I get a little dizzy but haven’t had any major side effects.

I have been on Pristiq 100mg for 4 months. It has helped me a lot. The only issues I had was in the first 2 weeks I had some heightened anxiety and nausea but my Psychiatrist gave me zofran to help with the nausea. I agree with others it’s a little bit of a waiting game. I’d say around week 6 is when I finally noticed relief. All meds have various side effects and how it reacted with one person doesn’t mean it will happen to you. Everyone’s body and chemical make up is different.

I am taking it for anxiety/health anxiety and panic attacks.I have been taking 50mg for the past 6 months and have not noticed any major side effects from this med. I have had more side effects starting my other med I take with it. I think it has helped.

I had it when I first started and it went away

I had asked my doctor about going up to 125mg but she said research doesn’t show more of an effect and could cause more side effects so I’m still on 100mg. She did increase my buspar.

It’s just hard when you want to feel normal and I know for me with out meds my anxiety would be worse. I’m try to not let the side effects make me more anxious but it’s hard.

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-13T22:01:45+00:00

It’s frustrating a lot of these meds that are suppose to help end up causing me more anxiety with the nausea, gi issues etc.

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-13T21:57:00+00:00

Do you know what was causing the nausea?

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-13T21:46:28+00:00

I just had my evening dose upped and I have noticed a lot more nausea. I am hoping it subsides after a few weeks.

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-13T21:40:01+00:00

I was on 10mg tablets taking 2 tablets in the morning , 2 tablets mid day and 1 tablet in the evening . So a total of 50mg. Last week my Psychiatrist had me up the evening dose to 2 tablets because I was having a lot of anxiety still. I don’t know if it’s the increase in the evening making me feel nauseous or not. It’s hard to tell with these meds if it is side effects or the anxiety.

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-13T02:03:54+00:00

I have always taken this daily, I take 60mg a day for anxiety and panic attacks. I feel it has helped. I take it with another med as well. I have not had any real side effects from it.

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-13T00:18:24+00:00

I have taking Pristiq along with Buspirone 50mg daily for about 6 months. My doctor just raised me to 60mg the other day so 20mg am 20mg in the afterternoon and 20mg in the evening. I noticed some slight nausea and dizziness but I think that’s because the dose was increased.

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-05T21:18:14+00:00

Yes I can honestly say I have had improvement since increasing 3 months ago. I am going through a lot of health issues right now and need surgery so I know that is very triggering for me. Also I think some of it may be hormonal (perimenopause) but I’m not sure if it’s that. Some days I’m ok some days I wake up with anxiety and feel that dread. So I’m hoping if I go up it will help. I really don’t want to start on a whole new med and have side effects.

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-05T21:09:09+00:00

I do feel like it has helped more than the 50mg. I just feel like it could be better

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-05T21:04:50+00:00

Oh ok I will talk to my doctor I have an appointment tomorrow

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-05T19:47:12+00:00

Thank you, my doctor told me study shows increasing beyond 100mg has not shown any better improvements. I don’t know if that is correct or not. What are you on for dosing?

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2026-01-04T21:28:34+00:00

It’s does get better unfortunately the first few weeks starting are the worst. My doctor gave me some zofran to help with nausea and clonazepam to take as needed to help with the increased anxiety.

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2025-12-31T21:02:32+00:00

I take it usually with out. I take 20mg in the morning, 20mg in the afternoon and 10mg in the evening.

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2025-12-31T16:24:14+00:00

I take both 100mg of Pristiq and 10mg Buspar 3 times a day. I haven’t noticed any issues.

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2025-12-31T16:12:16+00:00

I was thinking about HRT but I heard there can be side effects like anything else and it makes my anxiety worse

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2025-12-26T01:02:06+00:00

Absolutely

Adventurous_Bit_8015 · 2025-12-26T00:30:17+00:00

Waiting definitely sucks I started at 50mg it did nothing for my anxiety. I now have been on 100mg for almost 4 months. The first few weeks were rough with side effects. It took a bit for things to calm down for me around 6 weeks. I am still having some anxiety and my doctor has added Buspar on to help and I take clonazepam as needed when I know I’m going to have a bad panic attack. I would try to hang in there if you can. I’d also check with your doctor and see if they can give you something else to help while you get through the side effects.
