"i started taking pristiq about 4 months ago and it has proven to be wonderful. i suffer from depression and borderline personality disorder. almost immediately i saw an improvement. before taking pristiq i would fly into a rage almost daily. in the last 4 months since taking it i have maybe raged 5 times. i don&#039;t feel so self-conscious anymore. i feel more alive and upbeat. and to top it off i&#039;ve lost weight since the drug decreases appetite. my wonder drug."
