"after trying a myriad of medications for my postpartum anxiety, all which brought on profound side effects such as depression, insomnia, rage, no feelings whatsoever, etc, i was placed on pristine/ desvenalfaxine. i have not had to take medication for anxiety or depression previously and was to the point where i intended to suffer through the anxiety rather than the side effects. this medication however, has been a lifesaver. i feel fantastic and very much like myself. i want to do normal things, taking care of my son doesn&#039;t make me feel like i&#039;m going to worry myself into an early grave. i&#039;m not having heart palpitations. i can actually work and be productive opposed to constant worry. it is working!"
