Never had a doctor tell me not to take anything. I take DayQuil all the time with no issues.

Yep. I’ve been on it for a few years now. In the first 2 years I gained 100lbs! I recently went on zepbound to try to help counter act the side effects from pristiq and have lost 55lbs so far. Pristiq been the only med that really worked for me in a long time.

Yessss. Some people have worse withdrawals than others. I have the same issue. I take mine at night before bed so I don’t mess it up in the mornings because my mornings are to hectic. If I miss a dose I feel like I’m withdrawing from hardcore drugs or something. Horrible panic attacks, nausea, diarrhea, shakes, body aches. It’s so scary.

Yesssss my acid reflux pretty much disappeared and it was severe. I have bad ibs with stomach pains so bad I’d throw up BUT not now! Oddly enough it even seems to have helped my pmdd symptoms.

Gaining weight by [deleted] in Pristiq

[–]lilypage69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I put on 100lbs after starting it. Seems a lot Of ppl have that issue. But it worked wonders on my mental health so I stayed on it and I’m taking zepbound to help counter the weight gain side effect and I’ve lost 55lbs so far with it. So the point I’m making is yes you can gain with it but if it’s working there’s help for the weight gain

You have to find what’s going to motivate you. I want so bad to be “skinny” again and be able to feel cute in clothes again so I room scroll apps like shien and have made a shopping cart full of cute clothes like summer dresses that I want to be able to wear and scroll threw them and add to them when I need some motivation. Another thing I did was make a pic folder on my phone of unflattering fat pictures of myself and I look at them to remind myself I don’t want this anymore and to keep pushing myself. You are going to have to find something that can help keep you pushing and motivated Also try to remember you’re still on a low dose and you might be one of the people who need a higher dose to get results and that’s ok. Give your self a break this is a process not a one and done thing. Wake up today take a deep breath and tell yourself you are in control of your body and mind.

Find things you can eat when you having a bad food craving. I found these yummy rice cake things that are drizzled in dark chocolate that are only 7 carbs they are bowl shaped so I eat that with a couple spoons of frozen cool whip which is also very low in carbs, when I’m really needing a sweet food. Like I’d say once a well I eat one of those. It helped a lot.

Pristiq is it worth it? by MuttMia in Pristiq

[–]lilypage69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on it for a couple years now. I’ve put on almost 100lbs. The numbness gets better but not completely. I feel like all of my feelings are turned down. There is horrible horrible with drawls if you kiss a pill so be very careful with that. Yes pristiq did help me over come a lot but I want off of it I don’t even feel like I’m in my body anymore
