Does anyone take pristiq?

Question

I was on lexapro, but I gained a ton of weight in a month, so my doc put me on pristiq for anxiety. Does anyone have any experience with it? I know that it is new and all. Also, what time of the day would be best to take it?

Answer 1

I started taking pristiq 3 weeks ago.  My body is feeling great, but I still feel depressed : (  The energy level is great and the side effects are tolerable, but they are there.  The biggest complaint besides the depression is the insominia.  I am hoping that another week will make a tremendous difference.

Answer 2

Take in the morning and it takes some time to get use to.
