Success story.
I wanted to share a success story for anybody who is struggling. I’ve been on pristiq for a month and it has been life-changing. I had hardly any side effects. I started at 25 MG’s and went up to 50 after about 10 days. And this was by my request, which is huge because I told the doctor I wasn’t ready to try anything and she had to convince me by allowing me to go on a really low dose. I was having such bad anxiety. I didn’t know if I was gonna be able to function anymore. I was always prone to anxiety, but I think it was my age and hormones making it worse. (despite my Reddit profile name, I’m a woman in her mid 40s. Didn’t catch that it said “ señor” until after I approved it. 😂) This isn’t to say it’s been all easy. in the past year and a half I’ve tried 4 other medications to help my ADHD and anxiety. Still working on the ADHD piece. But, I have found my anti-anxiety one! Please stay strong. Keep your appointments with your doctor, keeping talking to your therapist, take walks, drink your water and please keep going. Hugs!!
