"munik....thank you so much for your review.  i was telling a friend that i was feeling anxious and irritable today and wasn&#039;t sure if my new medication (pristiq) was for me.  it&#039;s been 2 weeks and thanks to your words of encouragement i&#039;m hanging in there.  i must say i have noticed a decrease in my appetite which is much needed and have felt like exercising for the first time in years."
