"i rated pristiq a 9 for the simple fact that although it was really helped me get out of depression, i have been having crazy vivid dreams.  the dreams are not pleasant, or bad, just weird.  i have flashbacks about them all through the day, and i can recall almost every little detail.  some might argue that this is not a bad side effect, however, because of this, i&#039;ve been having poor sleep.

all this said, it wouldn&#039;t be a reason for me to get off the medication.  it has really given me back my life!"
