Thank you Karen for the feedback.My doc thinks that i might not have any side effects if i stop the Pristiq cold turkey because i will be taking the Paxil in the morning and the trazodone at night.If i want to be on the safe side, she suggested that i take a Pristiq every other day for 5 days.I took my first trazodone last night and my first Paxil this morning.I managed to sleep 3-4 hours last night but it will take sometime to get the Pristiq out of my system.Do you know of anyone who has not weaned off of Pristiq gradually and went to another antidepressant without any problems ? Today is my first day without Pristiq and i am starting to feel better so, i am not so sure that i want to take a Pristiq tomorrow morning to begin my 5 days of on and off Pristiq.Thank you for your feedback
