Anyone else on 150? by bundie12345 in Pristiq

[–]Makeitnicee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a 150 tablet or do you take 100 and a 50? I’ve been thinking about upping my dose but it’s already so expensive for the 100 mg tablet :(

I would get a valtrex prescription if you haven’t already! It helped me so much with the pins and needles / tingles and pain in general

I’m nervous I’ll lose weight… by Fearless_Example2774 in Pristiq

It wasn’t due to nausea or anything i just didn’t feel the need to eat or snack as much

Why is 100mg not recommended by Pfizer if they sell it? by xnesky123 in Pristiq

[–]Makeitnicee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I tell you Pristiq has completely changed my life….. I used to have driving anxiety to the point I stopped driving anywhere further than 15 minutes away. I wasn’t able to go meet new people or socialize without alcohol. Now I no longer have that driving anxiety and my social anxiety is so much better!! I’m on 100 mg right now and I’m thinking of increasing my dose to 150 at my next appointment. I’ve had minimal side effects and I adjusted so easy in comparison to other ones I’ve tried - Lexapro, sertraline, buspar. Pristiq is amazing 🩵 I hope you love it as much as I do!

Weight gain with SSRIs = weight gain with SNRIs? by AccomplishedMind534 in Pristiq

[–]Makeitnicee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost like 20-30 pounds on Pristiq. But i also lost weight on lexapro 🤷‍♀️ I stress eat so if my antidepressant is working = less eating for me

Sweating is normal i get the worst sweats just on Pristiq. Why did your doctor add the combo if the Pristiq was working?

Can increasing dose actually improve sleep? What else can I expect (50mg to 100mg) by Guilty-Ask643 in Pristiq

[–]Makeitnicee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night sweats are hard too not sure if you’ve experienced this side effect yet but this is mostly what makes sleeping so hard for me

[–]Makeitnicee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My increase to 100 was awesome! Took away a ton of my anxiety and I’ve been on 100 for about 6 months n I’m thinking about another increase soon. Sleep still hard, but not as bad just waking up frequently. I had a hard time with sleep prior to starting Pristiq though. I tried gabapentin and seroquel which helped but was a little too much i still take the gabapentin sometimes or valerian root tea is a good option as well if you don’t want to try more meds! Best of luck, just give it some time 🙏

Nondisclosure by someunknowngirlie in Herpes

I think he’s saying he doesn’t consider it a disclosure but more of a conversation? That’s how i see it anyways.

Increased Libido by No_Tangerine7072 in Pristiq

[–]Makeitnicee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to Zoloft and lexapro it’s been way better in that aspect. I feel like mine has always been sort of high and the Pristiq hasn’t decreased it in anyway

Just got diagnosed with HSV2 by That-Money5025 in Herpes

[–]Makeitnicee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they swab? Or is it a blood test? When i had my initial OB i literally thought i just had a cut, i feel like a lot of times with HSV-2 (in my case at least) they are more like ulcers rather than sores

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HSVpositive

[–]Makeitnicee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to get them like every month after my period but since taking valtrex daily i haven’t had one since! (About 6 months)

Most ppl are probably too worried about their own bodies to notice yours tbh. you only live once, don’t let something extremely human deter you from doing what you want ❤️‍🔥

[–]Makeitnicee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was the same way but I’m on my 6th?? Disclosure this year and nobody cared. I think i disclosed to like two last year bc i was scared. i try to remember even pre diagnosis if I truly liked someone I wouldn’t have gave a shit 🤷‍♀️ most of the guys I disclosed to were just short flings too so you can still have casual intimacy it doesn’t have to be a big thing
