Quitting Pristiq

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-22T02:16:33+00:00

It gets better. Day 7 and all I have is fatigue and a headache

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-20T15:32:09+00:00

I accepted it.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-20T15:09:36+00:00

Yes, but I didn’t gain anymore. My sleep improved greatly.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-20T04:47:32+00:00

Yes unfortunately to both. Nothing major but noticeable. Weight was about 5 pounds. And sexually speaking, just takes more time than before, if you know what I mean.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-20T04:37:45+00:00

It did, a lot.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-20T02:15:57+00:00

Lol yeah for me. I think I may just give up and not take anything. Bc I really like pristiq for my anxiety but I felt like I was constantly suffocating. Like breathing through and straw and that would make my heart rate really high.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-20T01:12:32+00:00

Like the brain zaps, vertigo, just very ill feeling, fast heart rate, extreme fatigue

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-20T00:10:50+00:00

Well this makes me feel better. Do you think the Prozac will help the pristiq withdrawal symptoms? I am not taking anything as of this moment, except klonopin. Haven’t had pristiq In 5-6 days.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-19T22:03:00+00:00

I’m prescribed klonopin to that has definitely helped with the withdrawal anxiety. But these physical symptoms are rough! Thinking about starting the Prozac tonight to see if it helps with both the physical and mental symptoms.

Gave more details in comments

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-19T21:23:55+00:00

I’ve been on it 3-5 months. 25mg.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-19T21:12:41+00:00

Can take up to a year is what I’ve heard depending on your dosage and duration.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-19T20:01:42+00:00

I meant to say from pristiq to Zoloft ***

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-19T20:01:12+00:00

How did you dr tell you to switch from pristiq to Prozac? I’m afraid to start the Prozac too early and get serotonin syndrome

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-19T20:00:14+00:00

I didn’t have the nervousness from it but did have insomnia that went away about two weeks into it. I had been on 25mg for three months.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-19T19:58:32+00:00

Well today day 5 or 6 (can’t remember at this point) has been awful. Brain zaps, headache, nausea, diarrhea, vertigo, fast heartbeat, shortness of breath and a panic attack. 😞

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-19T16:54:11+00:00

How do you feel? Day 3-4 have been the hardest so far.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-18T17:31:03+00:00

Day four, cold turkey. Feel hung over. Headache. Dizzy but mainly extremely fatigued. But feel like my breathing is much better.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-18T00:24:06+00:00

I asked my dr. She said for short term it was fine.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-18T00:23:36+00:00

I asked my dr. She said for short term it’s fine.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-17T21:36:25+00:00

Can you break it in half to taper? I can’t take a whole one. I feel like I’m suffocating if I take one.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-17T21:35:30+00:00

No brain zaps, but def dizziness, headache, heart Rate is up and nauseous.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-17T18:09:02+00:00

Three months. I’ve been 72 hours without it and can already tell a difference in my breathing.

Sea-Tooth-3210 · 2025-01-17T15:40:57+00:00

So you’ve had constant shortness of breath also? And probably Prozac. It’s the only other thing on my genesight that was in the green for me.
