anxiety
"I've been taking Pristiq 50mg daily for the past 7 months for anxiety and mild depression, and I can't say I'm much better for sticking with it.  The side effects were horrible as I started - extreme dizziness, nausea, restlessness, sweating, impotence.  Those subsided over the first week or two, but quickly returned if I miss a dose.  My energy level has not lifted and in fact may have decreased, but most importantly I've felt more disconnected, numb, and unfocused since being on the drug.  I've heard it's rough to come off and I've been tapering back slowly, but I'm looking forward to clear thoughts and true feelings again.  "
