Default SNRI's

I can relate to both CC & Mouse with the SNRI's. My Pristiq has really gave me a push threw the ongoing symptoms of PCS. It is a wonderful feeling!

Default Same problems

I have the same problems. I think its related to my neck. Can MRIs show whats wrong? Is it possible that a neck injury pinched the arteries?

You could have bulging in the neck.I have bulging C1-C5 And yes a MRI will show bulging but you have to tilt your neck while you get MRI for best results. MarkofIdaho explains it better. When are bodies are hurt or damaged, it is natural to create depression, anxiety, stress etc.
hope this helps
