My doctor had me go from 100mg of Pristiq to 50mg over 3 months. Then, when I saw her yesterday and told her that I didn't experience any major withdrawal problems, she gave me the following schedule for the next 14 weeks:
every 2 days for 4 weeks, then
every 3 days for 3 weeks, then
every 4 days for 3 weeks, then
every 5 days for 2 weeks, then
every 7 days for 2 weeks
This may be overly cautious but if it lessens the withdrawal problems, I can live with it.

I went through the four weeks of taking 50 Mg every other day. No side effects. At the end of four weeks and as I was starting the routine of taking 50 Mg every third day, I was on a cruise and had a anxiety attack. Now 10 days later, I am having anxiety attacks when I wake up. I am able to calm myself down and function somewhat normally but I get prickly feeling all over my body along with occasional warm feeling throughout my body. Looking forward to better days.

Are you totally off the Pristiq now? You had no side effects? Are you on anything now?
