"i have been on pristiq 100 mg for over six years now. i was 18 when i started, and i had pervasive and disturbing suicidal thoughts, serious self harm issues, and neuroticism up the wazoo. i would be dead if it weren&#039;t for taking this drug. 
i just want to say that you shouldn&#039;t be scared about taking the generic. it works just as fantastically for me as pristiq and is significantly cheaper. "
