How Can I Withdraw From Pristiq Given For Severe GI Problems Without Any Side Effects?
I was put on Pristiq this past June, not for depression, but because I was having severe GI problems. I lost 15 pounds and I really had no weight to lose. After being tested for every possible thing (I believe) and all came back negative, my Internist put me on Pristiq. My symptons did get better but I am not convinced it is a a result of this drug. I am a 52 year old otherwise healthy female who exercises regularly. I really don t want to stay on this drug any longer and want to wean myself. How is the best way to do this. I feel like it makes my brain so foggy. I m on 50 mg. Thanks!
