I have been forced to stop my Prestiq since my doctor does not give refills untill appointment every 3 months and I run out 1 week prior to being seen. This time she was out of town and I was going out of town. I quit cold turkey. I am (4 days later) still dizzy. DIZZY! I can not move my head side to side or I loose my balance ( not to mention my lunch). My ears are ringing so loud I was sure others could hear it. I refuse to start taking it again. I had the same problem with Cymbalta. I started these medications 6 years ago with the loss of job, mother in law, both parents and empty nest. I think I am better now. I just hope these symptoms end. Any suggestions?

Does it sound like banging from a distance when trying to go to sleep?<br />

A friend recommended Vitamin C to eliminate the dizziness and pounding I had been experiencing on and off for weeks. It worked beautifully!!! In less than 1 week, all of that disappeared. Best wishes to you!!! <br />

It will get better. I quit pristiq 1.5 years ago after being on it for 3 years. I took a week off work and fought through the withdrawl. DiZzy to the extreme. Couldn\'t drive for a good 4 days. Then probably shouldn\'t have for a few more! After a week was fine but still had the brain zaps for a good 4-6 weeks. Good luck and keep us posted !!<br />
