This is the second week since mid December that I have been without any symptoms from the Pristiq and Lamictal that I took for 10 years. I also also took Lamictal with the Pristiq. Until these last two weeks, I would still feel dizziness, brain clouding and feelings of doom. I even enjoyed drinking 3 beers during Super Bowl without the countereffects of the drugs. I exercise almost every day and am trying to eat healthy by avoiding sugars and processed food. Thank you for sharing and do your best to be healthy. As always, I will not hesitate to take some medication if I become afflicted with major depression, but will never again accept the meds as a permanent solution....as I did for over 20 years.
