My Dr is currently doing this.. she wants me off Pristiq and is switching me to Prozac. I have been taking 25 mg for 4 weeks. I am nervous to take both antidepressants in one day but I'm at the lowest dose of Pristiq and I know you can't cut them. I'm torn between just stopping the Pristiq or taking both.

Your physician is giving you his or her best medical guidance. I have had a similar experience changing medications, and the half life of the drugs is pivotal. Do what your physician directs. Please do not start practicing medicine on yourself…

I was on Pristiq and my dr slowly (supposedly) tapered me off. 13 of pure hell days. I’m so sensitive to meds. My husband and I don’t want to consider another anti depressant. Difficult to get on them and off. Seeing a therapist and still seeing a psychiatrist. He has me on a beta blocker for anxiety. Don’t know next plan. Good luck. Thank you for listening.
