I am glad to see other people are going through the same thing as I am. I have taken Pristiq 100mg for about 4 years. For severe PMDD. I have gained so much weight between Prestiq and other meds. I finally got a hysterectomy (its the last resource for PMDD cases) and I feel so much better. I dont really need the med anymore. BUT its been a total HELL to get off of it. The withdrawal symptoms are the worst. I have been just doing it bit by bit for about a month and a half. I am currently taking half a quarter each day for the past week and I still feel soooo sick 🙁 But I don't want to give up now that I am so close to it. From taking 3 different medications and one shot a moth I am at only one medication (thyroid) and getting off the Prestiq. I never thought I would be able to be off my meds.Thank you for giving me hope and let me know that I can be drug free!

Thank you! Many blessings to you too and for those who are having it tough. I made it trough and I want to let everyone know that you can doit to! DO NOT GIVE UP!
magber...How are you feeling now? Are you done with the withdrawal symptoms? I'm in so much hell right now. Any glimmer of hope would be very welcome.
I am doing well for now. My hormones are out of place but I have an appointment with an bioidentical hormones doctor soon. I am completely out from Pristiq and its withdraws. Don't give up! But make sure its what you want to do. I don't know other peoples nightmares but I know that it was time for me to be out of it. Please know YOU will feel better soon too!! This new year will be great for all of us. It will bring health and good vibes. Even if everything else go down, we will be all able to stand up and survive with good health, good mental health. Blessings to all!
