 [ Symptoms ] my eyes are swollen and hurting taking pristiq doctors say nothing to do i am miserable [ Disease ] hi as you said this is definitely due to pristiq but what concerns me is that its been 15 days you have stopped the medicine there is no reason you should still have eye complaints just benadryl wont help this is a kind of allergic reaction take anti histamine tablets add anti inflammatory tablets if necessary taking diuretic tablets may reduce the swelling you come to know about the risk of side effect only after you take it so avoid taking it anytime in futurethanks
