"i have just started 50 mg of pristiq this morning after having a mild panic attack and after about one hour i felt much better.  i have had severe panic attacks and insomnia since my tubal ligation almost a year ago.  i have been through a lot of medications that only left me to feel like a zombie and i am finding that you can compare yourself to others and put yourself in a box or you can realize that god made us all in a unique way and just because one drug works for one person does not mean it will work well for another.  i am still going to take it one day at a time and stay in prayer that the doctors i am seeing will give me medicines to get me the balance my brain needs, to have a healthy and normal life."
