Yes - please keep us posted. It is horrible @ yes agree total Hell. Pristiq has literally stripped me of my mind, previously healthy body and feels like my soul.

I have weaned off. But the damage is done - physically & mentally after 10 years.

I have had due precisely from Pristiq: Cardiac disorders – Tachycardia.
General problems too such as weight increased, liver function test abnormal, blood prolactin increased.
Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders – kegs /nerves shaking at night, many sleepless nights over 10 years ! Overwhelming Musculoskeletal stiffness.
Nervous system disorders –Syncope, convulsion, dystonia.
Psychiatric disorders – Depersonalization, suicidal, etc.
Renal and urinary disorders – Urinary probs, retention, etc. electricity running thru my head. Constant ear ringing.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders and several trips to the ER.

Relationships with friends & family have definitely been damaged too. Literally effects ability to function at all & to live any type of a normal life.

And the pharmaceutical companies continue to make this horrifi drug and pharmacies make HUGE profits & docs still prescribe?

It’s not if ... it’s a matter of when something will happen the same as we’ve all for the most part any way have experienced.

It’s ruining lives.

Hi, @coloradolori - I'd like to add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. So sorry to hear about all these effects you are experiencing. You may have noted we have groups with discussions about many of the areas in which you've had health challenges in the group directory https://connect.mayoclinic.org/groups/ where you might meet other members who'd have some input and support to offer you.

Are you now taking something else instead of Pristiq? Are you getting some help with the health issues you mentioned?
