"this medicine was god send, i didn&#039;t know how much it had helped until my dr switched me to pristiq. i became very depresssed! dr put me on zoloft, then lexapro, saphris, abilify and seroquel. six months later and after nothing working i got put back on effexor four days ago and i am already starting to feel better! i have come to terms with taking a medicine for the rest of my life if that what it takes to feel normal."
