"this medication did not work for me.  it is important to note, however, that i suffer more from anxiety than depression.  on pristiq i felt like i was on a constant roller coaster.  i gave the medication 3 (long) months.  i would wake up in the night with panic attacks and would surprise even myself with sudden outbursts.  not to mention, it was super expensive. not worth it for me. i&#039;m back on zoloft and xanax and feeling much better."
