Lowered Antidepressant~Need Feedback~
Well I got my lovely antidepressant lowered. I have never been on antidepressants till now so I am experiencing some side effects and I need a little feedback from people that had been threw this. I had demanded my Pristiq 100mg to be lowered because I had just got it raised about 2weeks ago. When it got raised it lowered my physical activity back to NOTHING STATUS.
Now I am on day 2 of Pristiq 50mg and I am dizzy, headache, cannot really focus eyes, insomnia, fatigue, and lackadaisical.
Is this going to go away once it get's to therapeutic level?I kind of feel back to square one with PCS symptoms, I was told it is the change in medication. Any feedback is appreciated by people that have experience with Antidepressant's. I greatly appreciate it.
