I have been on Celexa for over a month and it helps my anxiety but not my depression and males me nauseous and tired. I habe tried Zoloft, Cymbalta, and Effexor but I couldn't stay on any of them long because of the bad side effects. Now doctoe wants me to try Pristiq but I am nervous of the side effects since doctor told me Celexa is the mildest of the meds. Should I try Pristiq or live with the Celexa?

Sometimes i am me (HT)...

PRISTIQ WAS FINE-JUST DID NOT HAVE THE UUMMPPHH IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN. JAMIE. GIVE IT SOME TIME PINCH WEASEL. SIDE EFFECT WISE, JUST THE BASICS FOR A BIT. JAMIE. PS CYMBALTA HAD MORE GUTS THAN PRISTIQ FOR ME. HOPING THIS HELPS.

I take pristiq and I like it. I was on effexor for years. Don't know how it will be for you though, we are all different and have different side effects. I hope that it works for you. It is fairly new to the AD meds.

Good luck.

Hugs, Karen
