Has anyone tried Pristiq for depression?

Although this medication has helped significantly with my mental health issues, the physical side effects are awful to the point I'm considering taking the psychiatrist who prescribed it to me to court. It shouldn't be on the market

I’ve been on pristiq for 5 years and, as others have mentioned, it had worked but the withdrawal and brain zaps are brutal. Ill get the worst headache and then go “omg i forgot to take my pristiq”😅 Despite that, i do really think it has helped me and kept more chill and happy

Prestiq was my miracle med. it helped wonders for my anxiety and I was able to live my life. It stopped working for me though after 2 years :( the worst part about prestiq is the withdrawals and brain zaps. Felt super sick coming off it.

I was on Pristiq for many years. For me, the nausea was the worst side effect, but it got better after a month or so. The only other downside is that it has a short half life, so it leaves your system quicker so when you’re late taking it you get brain zaps faster than some other meds. But if you take it on time you don’t have to worry about those. Otherwise, it was a great med! Good luck!

Same I took same meds and head started hurting and I started throwing up. Some say you have to just deal or some say change your prescription
