"i have been depressed for a very long time. always try so many different kind of medicines but pristiq seems to be working great. i have already lost 12lbs in 3 weeks and i feel a lot better, with my mood swings being better. my kids have noticed a big difference in me. the only side effect was stomach was hurting but it went away. the only thing is that i feel a little down but i don&#039;t know if it&#039;s because of my pms. i go to the doctor tomorrow and we&#039;ll see what he says but other then that i have more motivation then i ever did before. i always give up on other pills but this one seems to work. i could enjoy my life again. i just hope if they increase the dose to 100 that i will feel better and i won&#039;t be disappointed.
