I know this is an old post, but could you provide an update? Did the pristiq help with anxiety? Did you ever get withdrawal from effexor? I'm cross-tapering right now, and am not sure if the pristiq is helping. It's almost been two weeks on it.

I'll tell you the move from effexor to pristique was seamless. And the. Dosage is lower. 1st 2 days I took 50 MG of pristique along with my normal dosage of effexor 150 MG. 3rd day NO effexor and up to 100 MG of pristique for 3 weeks. No idea I had changed anything. 4th week I moved down to 50 MG pristique and added 2.5 MG the lowest dose of zyprexa. Week 5. No pristique only 2.5 MG of zyprexa. 3days after the last pristique was no fun!!! But 1 month I'm off effexor. I'm so sensitive to meds too. I still suffer from depression and anxiety so I stayed on the zyprexa. It wasn't a nightmare and didn't have to count beads. Pristique is a tablet. But. 1st week I questioned the move. But 22 days off effexor and do feel alot better. No more SNRI FOR ME!!
