"i started taking pristiq since i was having anxiety, slight depression and mild panic attacks in my job (i&#039;m in sales). i was taking lexapro on and off for a couple of years, but felt it wasn&#039;t working anymore, so my doctor recommended pristiq. i am 3 days in and feel great! i&#039;ve experienced slight nausea (but food helps), decreased appetite, dry mouth and slight jaw clenching. also my first two days, a couple of hours after i took it (which has been in the morning), i would feel extremely tired. but i would snap out of it and feel great. overall, i feel happy, calm and focused. i hope to only be on pristiq for short term, but while i am going through this difficult time in life it will be my miracle.
