"i have been on pristiq for about 2 months. i&#039;ve tried probably 10-12 other anti-depressents with lots of side effects that made me want to quit them. i feel better emotionally today. i have no side effects and i am able to complete tasks in a reasonable amount of time, without feeling overwhelmed. i have no anxiety issues and i am finally enjoying my life. i only wish the insurance industry would cover this medication."
