Moderator Emeritus Jemima Posted March 17, 2012 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi Again, I have been having night sweats almost every night since on Pristiq. Does this side effect go away as I lower my dose? Also, I am so fatigued with a lot of brain fog. How long does it take for these side effects to subside? Thanks, Rosie I also had night sweats while taking Pristiq. I experienced flu-like symptoms from the Remeron that was prescribed for sleep and eventually starting coughing up blood because no one bothered to tell me not to take aspirin with Pristiq, which also acts as a blood-thinner. Night sweats, fatigue and flu-ish symptoms, coughing blood... it looked for all the world like I had TB. The doctor referred me to a pulmonary specialist who was as dumb as a bag of hammers. He didn't even know what Pristiq was, let alone what it did. He greeted me by telling me that my lung scan was "ugly" (I wisely didn't point at that he wasn't any too cute, either) and went on to figuratively wring his hands over a round opaque spot at the base of my esophagus. I was too bain-dead from Pristiq to get very worried about this, but afterward it dawned on me that 1) I only had to strip to the waist for the lung scan, and 2) I was wearing high-waisted L.L. Bean jeans with their trademark brass button at the waist. Next time I wore khakis with a plastic button - no problems! Doctors, tests, more doctors... eventually I figured out what was wrong, myself. Do I need doctors to scare me half to death and misdiagnose? I think not. Psychotropic drug history: Pristiq 50 mg.

As I continue on this dose for three weeks do you think will it get better? Thanks, Rosie I don't know, Rosie. I'm not surprised you feel it, it's a 20% increase. I had suggested 45mg.

moses Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks Alto, My 5mg are ready to pick up at the pharmacy so, I will go down to 45mg in a few weeks! Jemima, Pristiq is a pretty strong AD! You said you were brain dead from Pristiq: THIS IS HOW I FEEL: also extremely dizzy. Did you experience this too??? I have been contemplating if I have leukemia or some other dreadful disease because of the way I have been feeling for the last 4 months. I pray for grace every day: I have three wonderful children to raise and it's very hard to meet their needs when their mother is operating on half a brain.

Administrator Altostrata Posted March 18, 2012 Administrator Share Posted March 18, 2012 Pristiq is a concentrated form of Effexor. Like Lexapro, it's one of the stronger antidepressants.

Barbarannamated Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Barb, was it really difficult to get off 50 mg of Pristiq? That is so cool that you have horses; they must be beautiful! Rosie, I didn't have the obvious physical w/d symptoms that I had when i missed a dose of Effexor, so I didn't realize the anxiety, DP/DR, paranoia, were withdrawal-related until after I was done with taper. I didn't tell my doc. I'm sure i tapered too fast (in 25mg increments from 100mg) and may be having a little easier time had I gone slower. Sorry for the roundabout answer to your question.

moses Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi Guys, I am not sure why I am feeling so down lately. I was never depressed just very anxious. Since weaning down from 100mg Pristiq to 50mg, I have been really blue. Could be peri-menopause also. Not sure. I think my seratonin must be really depleted. What do you do when you feel so depressed. I do not want to be on these meds. Does it improve over time?

spectio Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi, Moses, while I was reducing my dosages I would go through some horrendous depression! I've been off remeron 6 and a half months now and the depression is actually the least amount of my symptoms! I do remember getting half way through dosage wd and having depression so bad, I stopped withdrawing for many months. I believe I resumed wd after the depression stabilized but was hit with it again when I started dropping the dosage. I also remember being on an ungodly amount of ad's (twice as much as recommended) and having bad depression! I. Guess that's part of the reason I decided enough was enough. Why continue on a drug that really didn't predictably eliminate depression! I'm pretty sure you're going through withdrawal. It's not easy, Moses! I know! I started withdrawing off remeron in August of 2009, with the help of a holistic physician.The reason for the withdrawal was a year or two of off and on nausea, deterioration in my thinking, and more depression. It took me a full year to work from 135 mg down to 45mg. At that point, more drops were causing more depression. Unfortuately, the nervousness that I was also feeling for the last year continued with the 45 mg. Thirty one days ago, I stopped the remeron. I am still feeling the nervousness every day and the last week, I am feeling what I think is depression but not sure. In bed in the morning, I'm already dreading another day feeling this way. I am intensely unsure of myself and find it very hard to do anything. I was a practicing veterinarian for 29 years until I found I could not practice anymore. First of all I couldn't think, or remember, and I had absolutely no confidence in anything I did. These were things I did with relative ease for twenty+ years. So, this feeling of no confidence has been during the time I was on the AD(the last 2 years) and today. I take no other medication other than my blood pressure meds. I tried supplements with my holistic dr. but they seemed to make the intense nervousness even more intense. Anyway, I truly feel stuck. Link to comment
moses Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi Spectio, Thanks for your response! I had a terrible reaction to this med and as much as I want to be off it, I must do it slowly. It is absolute agony. I hate it because I am not the me I used to be. It makes me feel so insecure. What are your symptoms now?

moses Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hi Alto! I decided to try going from 20mg of Pristiq to nothing today; boy, what a mistake that was! Major headache and dizzyness. So I took it at 5:00pm. Started to feel a little better two hours later. I cannot believe the strength of this drug. My body is so sensitive. Lesson learned. I will take it slower.

moses Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 well to be honest with you, I still suffer even though I am taking compounded Pristiq. It has not been an easy taper for me as I am finally at 20mg but I feel very terrible headaches and dizzyness. This is also accompanied by moments of anxiety and depression, especially 2 weeks before my cycle. My nervous system has been so messed up from going on and off these ADs that I have become extremely sensitive. Good news that it does get better over time. Having to be patient and not to giving up hope is the key. Right Alto?

Administrator Altostrata Posted May 5, 2012 Administrator Share Posted May 5, 2012 Right, Rosie. Next time you get your compounded order, you may want to get 2mg or even 1mg capsules made up so you can taper by a smaller amount and possibly avoid those difficult symptoms.

Administrator Altostrata Posted May 10, 2012 Administrator Share Posted May 10, 2012 Women who are experiencing withdrawal symptoms often report more severe premenstrual symptoms.

Nikki Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Rosie maybe the depression isn't so much the meds as your cycle. I don't know if this is a good idea (run it by the others) - I used to take Pamprin and it helped alot. With drug sensitivities, I don't know if it will help. Then again it could ease some menstrual symptoms.

Administrator Altostrata Posted May 10, 2012 Administrator Share Posted May 10, 2012 I agree with Nikki. You might try something to lessen the pre-menstrual symptoms, really take care of yourself at this time. If the dizziness hasn't changed with the dosage, I guess it could still be a side effect from the Pristiq. It's hard to tell what to do. You might get the Pristiq compounded in smaller doses, perhaps .5mg, so you can micro-taper -- decrease by smaller amounts more often. This is not medical advice.

Barbarannamated Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Rosie, In a desperate moment the other day, I took some Pristiq and was shocked at how hard it hit me! I had been on SS/NRIs for 18 continuous years and never noticed any effect. When I took Pristiq the other day, it was wicked. Head rush/ache, detached, limbs tingly and then numb-ish. The only feeling I can compare it to is morphine, which I took for pain a long time ago. I've taken many pain meds, but morphine was by far the worst - detached, stupid, out of control feeling (uncoordinated, not manic-y). Felt like my head wanted to sleep but body was vibrating (akathisia?). I also had recurrence of rams-type headache (neck up around into temple) the next day. Jackson has a good drawing of that shape. That scared me because I hadn't had that type of head pain in awhile (began w/Zoloft years ago). It was stupid for me to do, but eye-opening as to the power of a pill that I didn't notice before (did straight crossover from Effexor XR years ago). Pristiq tapered over 8 months ending Spring 2011 after 18 years of polydrugging that began w/Zoloft for fatigue/general malaise (not mood).

moses Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Wow, Barb, crazy how powerful that drug is? Almost four years ago, when I had a Hep A shot, I began to have daily headaches. I NEVER suffered from headaches before. This is why my doctor put me on Effexor. Since then, I have been trying to wean off and having to go back on so many times. Now, I am determined to get off. Pristiq is definitely too strong for me. Since the headaches and dizzyness pretty much increased after I lowered my dose, I seem to get paranoid and want to find reasons as to why these dreaded headaches keep coming back to haunt me. I also have terrible brain fog and low concentration so when I googled MS and saw similar symptoms to what I am experiencing, I started to get concerned.
