"i am a 31 year old male and have been on pristiq a week. it is too early to tell but so far it is amazing. it has removed that &quot;barrier&quot; that kept me from feeling happiness and i now feel like i am driving with my &quot;bright lights&quot; on. i also have adult adhd and i can focus much better on tasks at hand. i also enjoy my job for the first time in years and don&#039;t leave work angry everyday. the only side effect that i have experienced is that it takes me longer to climax during sex, which really wouldn&#039;t be considered a problem. i hope this medicine continues to work and i will update as i am on it longer. my appetite has also decreased. so far nothing but thumbs up for pristiq. this is the first out of 6 medicines that i have tried that i would recommend."
