anxiety
"I am into my 4th week of Pristiq and it hasn't yet kicked in.  I still require a clonazepam every morning for the anxiety when I get up.  The wild dreams have finally subsided as have the sweating.  I was on Zoloft for 10 years which worked wonderfully for me until it quit working. I tried Celexa - didn't work, tried Effexor XR - didn't work and had a lot of side effects with it.  Pristiq is supposed to be from the same family as Effexor so possibly this may not work.  One can only keep hoping."
