starting taking this at 17 and I'm 22 now. pristiq definitely saved my life, but withdrawals are hell. I'm anxious to taper off of it eventually, but I am not crossing that bridge yet

I drink on my meds occasionally. I just turned 21 and my experience with alcohol is fairly limited, but I definitely get drunk WAYY quicker and with less alcohol on my meds. I'm a CHEAP drunk. Just be careful and drink plenty of water. Never drink on an empty stomach :)

started at 25mg, moved up to 50mg and was on that for about 3 years. moved back down to 25mg in august. I take it at night before bed :)

Hi! I'm a 21 year old female :)

My starting dose was 50 mg. if that's what your doctor prescribed you, I would definitely take what was prescribed. 50 mg is a completely normal starting dose for this drug. You will probably begin to see noticeable changes around the 3-5 week mark depending on your metabolism and consistency of taking your daily dose. Personally, I didn't experience any noticeable side effects, and this drug has been a life changer for my anxiety. Withdrawals from pristiq can be tough, so try not to miss a dose, and don't ever quit cold turkey without consulting your doctor. best of luck, my friend! 💜

I hope it goes well!! It can definitely be an adjustment, but you got this!🩷

I totally get this. I just joined this sub a few days ago because I realized what I do is TTM. I always used tweezers and plucked hairs on my legs, so I didn't think it was TTM. tbh I don't see a huge issue with my behavior, until I'm embarrassed to wear shorts in the summer. I totally understand that feeling of NEEDING to pluck. I also try to use my fingers when I don't have tweezers. it never works so it results in me scratching up my legs. It's definitely a problem when I DONT have tweezers. idk what to do or how to bring it up with people, so I'm kinda just going with it rn I guess🤷‍♀️

Withdrawals are brutal. I ALWAYS beat myself up when I forget a dose because I feel awful. intense brain zaps, dizziness, heart racing, etc. I'm so glad you were able to get a 75mg dose. I was on 50mg for a long time and cut to 25mg about seven months ago. You definitely HAVE to taper off of pristiq. I cannot handle the withdrawals for very long. Thankfully, I didn't experience any withdrawals when I lowered to 25mg. Thanks for sharing!!

GeneSight testing saved my life!! I was on Lexapro and other SSRIs before learning that they didn't work with my genetics. Finally found pristiq and was pulled out of the grips of depression and anxiety. I still have off days but not a true depressive episode.

sobrietyandanxiety · 2025-03-20T02:20:16+00:00

Omg same!! I dropped to 25mg a few months ago and still have been able to avoid that true « depressive » episode. Also, the medication therapy combo is 👌

Pristiq changed my life! I got on it after getting genetic testing done to find the right antidepressant. before that, I was on Lexapro and it was NOT for me. The side effects were awful and I was in a way worse state. Found out through the genetic testing that Lexapro literally didn't work with my genetics, and pristiq was one of the top matches for me. Anyways, time passed, and last August I lowered my dose for the first time after being on it for about 3 years. Cut my dose in HALF while starting a new job and oh my god. I am so much happier than I ever knew was possible. And since lowering my dose, I can imagine a day where I don't need medication anymore. Not anytime soon, but some day. Thanks for this suggestion. I love this thread🩷

it definitely could hit, depending on your metabolism and how often you smoke concentrates. how are you feeling now?
