I JUST discontinued Prestiq, I have never been so sick with a medication. Talk about anger !!! I was way freaked out and out of control !! As where my friends, family and pets. I am usually mild mannered and do not have a nasty temper..3 weeks into the treatment...I was showing signs of irritability, then POW...yelling at everyone, not taking care of myself or my home..feeling resentment for everything PAST and present. Whew..glad to be back on trusty Cymbalta...although with Cymbalta I can't seem to break through that glass depression ceiling..so I just have to deal with it...BYE BYE Prestiq...horrible poison, lucky not to have been hospitalized, wish I could sue!!!

I guess it's like a poison for you. Some meds just don't work with the individuals chemistry. Phillipa

Pristiq is basically the same thing as Effexor. Effexor is known to have a severe withdrawal/"discontinuation syndrome," so it's not too surprising that Pristiq has it too. If you want some comfort, you should look up some people's experiences with quitting Effexor; it's probably very similar.
