"i have been taking antidepressants for years;  prozac, celexa,cymbalta, and now pristiq.  i have always had problems stopping taking antidepressants and needed to go back on the medication after a while.  i even stopped taking pristiq and found it necessary to go back on the drug after stopping.  this last time i started taking pristiq i felt much better after some weeks and everything was back to normal.  then i began to notice more depression symptoms like brain fog, general lack of motivation, tiredness, major forgetfulness.  i went out of town and even forgot to take the pills with me.  this is where things took a strange turn.  i felt better the next day!  every day that went by i felt better.  i forgot what felt like to fell this good"
