"i am surprised that i am leaving a comment because i dread reading other people&#039;s comments.  but basically, i am starting day 3 of taking pristiq, and i can&#039;t say that i feel any differently in a good way.  i am definitely a little more anxious and have had difficulty sleeping (night one i had to take a xanax).  i worry that i won&#039;t stick with it.  

i really want to feel calm and hopeful about the future.  i am not sure if this medicine will do that for me, as it is really currently making me feel racy."
