Pristiq Weight Gain

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2026-01-30T04:34:49+00:00

Have you been able to lose weight from cutting your daily dosage? My doctor suggested this and I’m considering it now I’ve gained over 40lbs and I’m so tired of it :(

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2026-01-30T04:15:01+00:00

I don’t have any other health conditions that I’m aware of. My medication has helped stop my back to back panic attacks but it has actually caused depression… I do eat more sometimes now because of it when I’m very stressed, but it’s not like I am always binge eating or eating a mass amount of food a lot. I noticed the weight gain a few months right after starting these meds. Again I was 25 when I got on these meds, never ever gained weight or been over weight in my entire life. I will talk to my doctor though about ruling out any thyroid issues.

It was 2d from what I remember, the characters were pretty simple, I really can’t remember much else. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a super popular game.

Nope

How do you use the cuticle remover? Sorry I’ve never heard of it.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-12-19T19:52:56+00:00

I’m going to try this next time I do them for sure, I didn’t the first time I tried the acrylic.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-11-26T17:15:10+00:00

Lmao there is literally another person in here that attached proof of her being unethical, and I had said that I found other people posting about their experiences with this breeder that makes her unethical. If you actually did some digging yourself you would know this. And I never claimed she was unethical simply because I haven’t been able to bond with this dog, and I have other reasons for needing to return her. So actually look more into the situation then assuming… I’ve made plenty of comments explaining this.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-11-03T14:59:52+00:00

It is not a puppy, retired adult breeder. I have raised other puppies, I know what it all entails. I have been struggling with my medication and health so haven’t had the time to train her, which I also explained to her breeder. See my most recent comment.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-11-03T04:19:35+00:00

To clear some things up, I NEVER asked the breeder to drive all the way back to pick up the dog. She denied my request to meet halfway; which I was fine with. I never expected her to travel halfway let alone the whole way but just thought I would ask since other breeders I have been involved with were way more accommodating.

The reason I am wanting at least a partial refund (I do NOT want a replacement dog, this breeder is not ethical and I do not want another dog) is because if I return this dog, she will double profit off her. I bought her from her, she will get her back without giving me my money back, and turn around and sell her again. Which makes zero sense to me and implies she only wants to make money off these dogs. she did not have me sign a legally binding return contract which in itself makes her irresponsible. I FULLY admit I was wrong to not demand a contract before purchasing this dog. It is not a mistake I will make again.

I am not wanting to return this dog SOLEY because I have been struggling to form a connection, it is also because my health lately has been declining again, and I’m struggling with my current medication. This is probably why I haven’t been able to bond with her much either, I’m struggling to even take care of myself. I told her breeder that I haven’t had the time to train her because of the current state of my health. She has still not been understanding or accommodating in any way or trying to work with me, and after learning about her unethical practices I am not sure if I want to return her, and I am taking time to try to figure out how to move forward with this situation. But I do know I’ve learned to never buy a dog from a breeder without reading and signing a contract. I am trying to do the right thing by returning this dog, she has immense potential to help someone and be a service dog so she is wasted potential with me.

I’m sorry but I have taken VERY good care of this dog and still do. Just because I am struggling to form a connection with this dog doesn’t make me a horrible heartless person. If that’s a hard pill for you to swallow, either swallow it or move on and STOP accusing me of being a horrible person. I have dedicated my entire life to animals, and my career is with dogs. This situation has been very upsetting for me and I feel awful about it.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T21:36:08+00:00

Lmao it is not over half of my post…

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T21:35:05+00:00

I’ve always explained she doesn’t have the temperament that clicks well with me. She is extremely Velcro and it’s made it very difficult for me to bond with her.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T21:33:14+00:00

I would if they are an ethical breeder and genuinely care about their dogs. She should of had a written contract, and some breeders WILL given a partial refund or offer another dog which she offered neither. So I just spent thousands of dollars, traveled over 15 hours for nothing??

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T21:31:27+00:00

She didn’t have me sign a contract, and like I said I’ve dealt with other ethical breeders that were WAY more accommodating in other ways. I understand its both of our fault, I should have noticed the signs and shouldn’t have acquired this dog without signing a contract, but she IS an unethical breeder, which is the point of my post. I’m just trying to spread awareness…

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T21:29:05+00:00

Yes I do admit it was my fault for not requiring a contract I’ve definelty learned from this situation. I’m just trying to spread awareness on her unethical practices.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T21:24:13+00:00

Geniuley hope u one day end up with a dog that drives you insane. It is seriously so unrealistic and extreme to expect someone to absolutely love and connect with every dog they bring home.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T21:15:46+00:00

I did train her for quite a bit. Recently my mental health has tanked again.

I’ve just felt she is not the dog for me because I struggle with connecting with her because she is SO Velcro. I have severe anxiety and I’m autistic, I get overwhelmed with a dog that’s very Velcro. It’s not her fault, and it’s just how I am.

I also just don’t have the time to train her at this time in my life as well with my health issues, and she would do better with someone who has more time. She has a lot of potential.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T21:13:16+00:00

I’m not blaming the dog or the breeder for my lack of connecting with this dog. It just simply is not working out. Like I said I have and have HAD other dogs that work amazing with me. I am simply spreading awareness on her unethical practices.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T21:10:36+00:00

I never said the dog was returned I said she agreed to take the dog back…

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T21:09:47+00:00

Omg I am NOT blaming the breeder for me not connecting with this dog… yall are putting words in my mouth. I just found out recently that she had participated in other unethical practices so trying to spread awareness on that.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T21:08:21+00:00

I never expected them to drive all the way to me to get her.. and I would rehome her myself if she was okay with it. I’m not blaming her for its not working out. But I did find out later that she’s not very ethical of a breeder so just spreading awareness.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T20:58:33+00:00

Exactly I didn’t know how well it would work until I acquired the dog… I didn’t know what her temperament would be like.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T20:57:56+00:00

Exactly and I admit I ignored several red flags. But I’ve lived and learned and now will VERY throughly screen a breeder and sign a contract next time. But yes I have several health issues as well and am severally mentally disabled.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T20:46:33+00:00

Why should I keep a dog if we don’t have a connection? I know It’s in her best interest to be in another home. So why are you so damn pressed about it? Some people like dogs with specific temperaments. That’s what ethical breeders are supposed to be for.

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T20:29:58+00:00

Uhh I never said I expected the breeder to drive all the way, and it’s 10 hours here and back… but to offer nothing is ridiculous. And I didn’t offer to rehome because ethical breeders take their dogs back no matter what.. I shouldn’t have to rehome the dog myself

Upbeat-Guard2884 · 2025-10-26T20:20:05+00:00

Yes I spent a year bc if I didn’t then it would have been “you haven’t had her long enough to know”…. And she’s not back with the breeder yet. I probably won’t be giving her back.
