"i was on my 4th try on a antidepressant and was feeling very discouraged. i had many side effects from the other medicines such as sleepiness, headaches, overeating, agitation, and crying spells. my therapist gave me pristiq. i read about the side effects and was not looking forward to headaches. i took it and had no side effects. on my second day i was doing a lot more things and felt a lot better. thank god!"
