"i am so hopeful about this medication. within 24 hours, i could tell a world of difference in my outlook (i have suffered with major depression most of my life). i have been on pristiq 2 weeks now. i did miss a dose 2 days ago and could tell the difference in my focus, concentration and mood (yesterday and today), so i will definitely be faithful about taking it from now on.

i am feeling the overwhelming tiredness after an initial burst of energy when i first started taking it. i hope that will get better. and i do think it has helped me focus on other things besides food."
