Granted I am only on day 2, I have been having terrible side effects. I take it in the morning, and starting about an hour after taking it for the next 4 or so hours I cannot stop vomiting. I'm dizzy all day and tired, of course until I lay down and try to sleep. The worst part is the hallucination. I have never had a problem with that or self mutilation prior to taking the medication, but whe ... Show Full Comment

I'm dizzy all day and tired, of course until I lay down and try to sleep. The worst part is the hallucination. I have never had a problem with that or self mutilation prior to taking the medication, but when I do i hear voices that tell me to self mutilate. I have NEVER experienced anything like this. I;m afraid to stop because I heard the side effects of stopping are worse. use caution when you take this drug, especially if youre a smaller person (im 110 pounds)

I started taking Pristiq one month ago. I had been on Wellbutrin and Lexapro for years and felt they were no longer working. I am feeling pretty good now, except I am having terrible pain in my back near my rib cage. Is anyone else experiencing this side effect?

I'm taking Pristiq with Lexapro and have been feeling so much better. No crying non-stop, less anxiety, beter moods. The only thing I'm having a hard time with is sleeping. I've gone from falling asleep in seconds to taking 30 to 60 mins. I am tired! My previous bed time was around 10:30 but now it's usually close to midnight. If it keeps up I may have to change again.
