Hi doctor , I am diagnosed with depression and take prestig 100ml so far in my life i find myself getting dizzy and asif i am drunk or have taken medication . i refuse to get out of bed , force myself to eat and lately ive been thinking about my depression. i can feel the stress coming. is this why i am getting dizzy and light headed? or is it because i watch tv? please help
It seems like you have been recently started on Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) 100 ml for depression. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks on a minimum to become efficacious. Please be patient till the effect of the medication sets in. Drowsiness may be a side effect of the medication and you may need to switch it to the evening dose to sleep the side effect off. This may also help wit the dizziness and light headedness. I hope this helps. Please see a psychiatrist if the problems continue to persist.
Take care.
