everhopeful Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I have just found this site and have a great feeling about it. I usually lurk awhile but this seemed exactly right. Of course I could be influenced by the fact that I am having a "day off" from Effexor before I start Pristiq. I love the feeling of withdrawal don't you? So about me: I have been suffering from depression for most of my life but was not diagnosed till 1993. I have been on some med or another ever since. I have pooped out on many and/or had poor results with most. Effexor has kept me at least at a functional baseline but now, oh goodness yes, I am told I can actually feel like 'normal' people feel if I just try this new magic. I would love to hear from anyone who has experience, the ugly, the bad and (dare I dream it?) the good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Welcome to Crazyboards! I always ask new people to read the rules, so I hope you will do that when you get a chance. I think a lot of people here have spent years trying to find the right med, or combination of meds. It's extremely frustrating. I hope the next one is the magic one for you and helps you to live the life you would like to have. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
