Anyone on Pristiq?

DId you have side effects? If so, what were they and how long did they last? It's been about 10 days and the random but short dizzy spells are still happening as is the nausea and headaches...

    I'm on Pristiq. The side effects that you describe hit me hard at the beginning.  I called my doc and he had me take it every other day for a week--but this was just as I was starting.  When I started taking it every day again, I was okay.  I was nervous at first, but it was okay.

    I would call the doc who prescribed the med for you and let him/her know that you are still experiencing these side effects at almost 2 weeks into usage. 

    I hope that things get better for you.

    The psychiatrist wants me to stay on it daily until at least Wednesday. Then we'll talk about trying something else. I'm just a bit disappointed because other than the side effects I don't feel as bad, I don't feel better either but the depression hasn't gotten worse like it did with the Zoloft.
