My psych switched me from Effexor to Pristiq yesterday. Has anyone tried it? Any notable side effects?
She did tell that it is "weight neutral" so I shouldn't have to worry about weight gain, like with Effexor (Woo hoo!!!) I'd only been Effexor for a month and had no side effects. She told me this was like Effexor but way better.
Another good thing about it is that she gave me a Pristiq pharmacy card that gives me 50% off my copay while the pharmaceutical company pays the rest of the copay- for the entire time that you are on Pristiq! For those of you that have had to pay for any newer antidepressants, you know what a good deal that is! I'm excited
