Had Strange Head Sensation, Heavy Head And Felt Low After Missing A Dose Of Pristiq
I forgot to take my 200mg dose of pristiq yesterday morning and by last night, while still unaware of this, began to experience a strange head sensation, as if I was being thrown forward, a lack of balance, a heavy head and felt really low and became very teary. I have taken the correct dose this morning and am wondering when I will feel normal again? Thank you
