"reading most of the reviews on here just makes me wonder why not me?  i&#039;m a 28 female with bipolar 1, anxiety disorder with agoraphobia, ocd (obsessive thoughts but thankfully nothing severe), and adult adhd.
i&#039;m far from a stranger to the world of therapy, medicines, etc., since i was diagnosed with anxiety disorder at 14.
i&#039;ve been taking pristiq for about 2 1/2 months. first noticed i felt more tired, then after a few weeks i noticed i felt more anxious than usual and little things would bother me (more) then before and i actually feel more depressed in the sense that i didn&#039;t actually feel depressed as in sad, worthless, etc. more just kinda blah. but i actually feel more sad and unmotivated now, i&#039;ve also gained about 10lbs and pristiq is the only thing different."
