| 3 | Depression | Headache, drowsiness | I was only able to take it for a day before it turned out my doctor was worried about the possibility of Pristiq causing my blood pressure to become too high. Treated me much better then Lexapro did, though! | F | 24 | 1 days | 9/2/2008 | 2 | Depression & Anxiety | Anger, Anxiety, Hair Loss | My Doctor gave me this, saying that it was like Effexor. This medication did not feel like Effexor. It is more similar to the side effects of Wellbutrin. Anger, Anxiet, Hair Loss etc. I cannot reccomend taking this medication, especially if you suffer from anxiety. | M | 46 | 60 days | 9/1/2008 | 5 | OCD and anxiety | None | No sexual problems when using this SNRI. | M | 45 | 7 days | 8/25/2008 | 4 | OCD | None | The medicine has been very well tolerated and worked for me very quickly. I also don't have the sexual side effects that have plagued me with the SSRI's over the years. | M | 45 | 1 weeks | 8/24/2008 | 4 | anxiety/depression | nausia the first day, the next day was pretty hyper. yawning constantly since then | Only two weeks on it so far so can't say much. The side effects are not bad and actually paxil was ALOT worse side effects for me. So far I've seen a small improvement compared to paxil once again where I took for 8 month with no improvement whatsoever. I feel less overwhelmed all the time and less fears about something bad going to happen. So far so good, we will see. | F | 24 | 2 weeks | 8/23/2008 | 5 | Anti-Depressant | Mainly sexual but the wife and I are working through it. Began to see small results the first day. After the 3rd day I felt like my old self. I am happier than I ever have been and has actually helped to calm my ADD. The other item I notice is that I am now a little more "hotter-natured" than I was previously, but do not have any sweating. I just keep the office cool. | I have heard of others that have had a hard time going through the initial month, but after that I've heard nothing but good things. I really feel the best that I have in my whole life. My negativity is gone and I now see positives in everything. My Dr. advised me that it could take as long as two months before everything is regulated. Thankfully, it didn't take that long for me. | M | 41 | 2 months | 8/11/2008 | 1 | depression | Severe migraines, sickness to my stomach, annoying excessive yawning, odd feeling in my head, sexual dysfuntion. | After one week of torture I couldn't take it anymore. This is not like Effexor! | F | 22 | 1 weeks | 7/28/2008 | 2 | Depression/Anxiety | Some sweatiness, increased anxiety, restlessness, felt wired and irritable. | Helped a bit with depression, but didn't really feel well enough to continue. It was not as calming for me compared to the regular Effexor XR. | M | 28 | 1 weeks | 7/3/2008 |
