"i have been taking pristiq for nearly 2 weeks due to losing my father in october 2010. i tried to fight my depression but it was starting to control my life. i am feeling better having a good day today has been a long time since i have had a good day i have had some nausea and a bit tired but overall see light at the end of the tunnel finally. don&#039;t feel ashamed of taking medication, depression is worse if not treated.
