Has anyone taken Pristiq for depression?

I was taken off Cymbalta. That medication was like poison to my system. I’m now on Pristiq. Has any one taken it, and how successful has it been for you? Thanks

Answer:
Yes and it's worked really well. Tried taking Lexipro, but didn’t do well at all on it! Just been on it for a week and a half but feel much more “normal” than before.

Answer:
I hope you’ve good insurance because Pristiq is just another form of venlafaxine which is generic for Effexor. Pristiq is an extended release that does not come generic and is brand new and is just another way for the drug (Wyth) to gouge people for more money.
