"i&#039;ve been on pristiq for 8 weeks and believe me, i have never felt better in my life. it works, no side effects. i&#039;m a happy person now. the only thing i wouldn&#039;t do is to take pristiq at night time. i take it at 8:00am, so i don&#039;t have sleeping problems. try it this way. this medicine is wonderful. good luck everybody."
