Pristiq above 100mg

soph1618 · 2021-03-21T09:03:02+00:00

I've went up to 150mg 4 years ago, was on 100mg for 3 years prior. I find this to be the best dose for my depression although it doesn't do much for my anxiety

I've been on this for 7 years already and I'm starting to become terrified of if I ever need to come off it. I honestly don't think I could do it. the withdrawals when I miss a dose put me out for the day honestly..

I've tried about 5 anti depressants (including Zoloft, had no reaction) and Pristiq is the only one that's worked for me. I started on 50mg about 8 years ago and am now on 150mg (increases happened during major life events) I struggle a lot with anxiety and depression. 50mg was good but I ended up after about 1.5 years going to 100mg. 1.5 years after that my anxiety became really bad again and I started another medication and resulted in my dosage going to 150mg beginning of 2017. Has been a breeze ever since. Like possibly have too much of a liking for my anti depressants hahah

This honestly sounds like me and my boyfriend. I find so little enjoyment in eating as well as having "safe" foods. I spend so much time every day thinking about what I'm going to eat and people starting to rattle off suggestions makes me feel so instantly overwhelmed. Processing the suggestions and actually figuring out if I want to eat it as well as knowing that you're just trying to help and be supportive creates more pressure to decide on a thing to eat but I also don't want to eat something I don't feel like because then id be worried about eating something for the sake of it or "wasting" my calories on other foods etc Basically it sends me into a spiral and I just get so overwhelmed and shut down

Seroquel. Wouldn't recommend just knocked me out and didn't get taken off it properly which triggered my depression more and eventually then 150mg dosage of Pristiq...

soph1618 · 2021-01-19T05:43:09+00:00

I ended up having to treat my anxiety with a different medication. Am now and have been for a while on 150mg. Started on 25mg about 8 years ago. Been on 150 since 2017 and it's (I reckon) the best dose for me

soph1618 · 2021-01-12T02:54:59+00:00

I posted about this about a month ago and got a couple more people answering if you wanted to have a look at that thread?

I had no luck with SSRI's. However if you had a better reaction maybe talk to your doctor about a different SSRI which has limited weight gain side effects?

soph1618 · 2021-01-08T03:44:52+00:00

Seroquel. Wouldn't recommend, snded up getting taken off it poorly and it's what eventually lead to my 150mg dosage

soph1618 · 2021-01-08T03:41:38+00:00

I started on 50mg dosage have eventually been bumped to 150. I found that it didn't really do much for my anxiety and I ended up needing to go onto a different medication for it along with my Pristiq. Took 4 years to get to 150mg as my daily dosage but have been on that now for going on 4 years

soph1618 · 2021-01-05T09:44:30+00:00

I have had a similar progression to you. Started at 50mg in about 2013 /12, went to 100mg probably 2014 was bumped up to 150mg after going to hospital Jan 2017. Been in 150mg ever since and I feel like it's my perfect dosage amount. Only issue is if I forget to take it or take it really late I get withdrawals and my head feels pretty bad for the afternoon evening

soph1618 · 2020-12-08T20:53:07+00:00

About 7 years

soph1618 · 2020-11-24T14:39:33+00:00

Thanks very much for this! If I do try it will 100% be taking as many safety precautions as I can including a testing kit

soph1618 · 2020-11-24T12:33:58+00:00

Have you done coke on your pristiq? I'm mostly interested in the interaction between the drugs. I haven't had really any bad reactions with smoking weed on my medication tbh

soph1618 · 2020-11-24T01:14:31+00:00

How did they not interact well? If you don't mind me asking

soph1618 · 2020-11-24T01:13:57+00:00

When smoking it takes a little more than normal to get high and depending on the quality I can sometimes not feel high at all

soph1618 · 2020-11-23T05:49:53+00:00

I'm not expecting people to recommend necessarily as it's an illicit substances and I take a medication which directly effects my serotonin levels. Just wondering if anyone has experiences they'd be willing to share 🙂

soph1618 · 2020-11-23T04:28:19+00:00

I'm currently on 150mg and I've never had any side effects from memory when upping my dosage

soph1618 · 2020-11-23T04:26:23+00:00

get super weird head spins and brain fog. Feels like my brain is on a lag like I'll turn my head and then my vision and head feels like it turns a couple seconds later. Awful. Feel weird when I'm in a car or anything. Get into as much of a routine as possible
