New and Starting Pristiq Tomorrow
1
Wed, 01-27-2010 - 8:10pm

I don't have a lot of time to post my LONG history right now, but after suffering from depression on and off for close to 20 years (I'm almost 39), I finally, with the help of an online friend, decided to get help.


After talking with my dr today, I'm going to start Pristiq tomorrow am.  I'm worried, scared, anxious yet hopeful.  I've never been on any meds for depression before.  I'm preparing myself for dry mouth, nausea, headaches, but hoping this will help me out.  Dr decided on this drug for a couple of reasons, but one was because I do not have drug coverage right now while my DH is layed off and this is a drug that she can give me trials of for a fair period of time.


I'm looking for any advice/experience from anyone who has taken or is taking Pristiq.


Thanks in advance


nancy


p.s.  Look forward to sharing more about myself very soon.  Just getting little ones to bed right now.
