OwlDello Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi everyone. I came across this board while researching Pristiq side effects last week. The information I got from reading the posts was by far the most helpfull to me of anything I read. So I figured I might as well give being a member a try. I'll try not to go into to much detail, but here is a little bit about me: I am a 26 year old special education teacher and a single mother to a wonferful little girl. I have always had issues with mild depression and anxiety, but I had never been on medication until earlier this week. In the past I have always been able to deal with my depression myself by eating healthier, working out, meditation, yoga, ect. But at the begining of March my fiance and I found out we were expecting. We found out we had lost the baby when we went in for the first ultrasound. Obviously that was a bad time, but I kept trying to remind myself that feeling bad after that was perfectly normal. Hormones go wako, you cry all the time but that is what I was supposed to be feeling. Only I didn't stop feeling that way so I started seeing a therapist. So as of Friday I am now on Pristiq 50mg, seeing my therapist once a week and hoping to be feeling a lot more like me in the near future. The first few days on the Pristiq have been pretty rough, but thanks to all of the helpful posts I browsed on this site before I started taking it, I knew what I was getting myself into. It's good to be here and I look forward to getting to know you all : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinda Krazy Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hello, I'm new here to. Your post spoke to me. My last major depression was also triggered by a miscarriage and lasted most of a year and finally lead to me seeking help. I hope you find what you need here and welcome here!

olga Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Welcome to Crazyboards. I originally came here seeking information about a med for depression, so we have that much in common. That was 8 years ago, and I never left! I ask all new members to read the User Agreement---it prevents misunderstandings later on and gives you an idea of how we operate. I'm glad you're here and I hope your antidepressant works well for you. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
