Vlog #13 - Answering some question on Pristiq

Hello,

I answer some viewer question regarding Pristiq on this video. I do note that I am half falling asleep. :)

My experience with Prestiq was pretty good, I would recommend it to people this medicine is made for. For me it had a low incidence of side effects.

I do have to note, it made me a bit slow at times, and being that this was an issue, it made things a tad bit worse. I was however very relaxed, and chilled out in social situations, which was very nice.

I have since then switched to Wellbutrin. Pristiq was prescribed by my Primary Care Doctor, which didn't spend a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong, and just gave me something. He did recomment a psychiatrist which helped me figure things out better, and switched my dedicine.

As always, I suggest keeping a medical history of your medicines are how they affected you. This helps the doctor try to figure out the best therapy. Everyone is different, so all medicines act differently. I suggest sticking with it, until you find something that works. Also, there are always alternate therapies to try, or just the typical talk therapy. Sometimes talking about what is causing the issues, and coming up with ways to solve it is great. Sometimes both together help.
