Hi, I am considering asking for Pristiq. I am still struggling with anger, anxiety, lack of motivation, irritability, etc. I went for a consult with a new doctor (who was very thorough but can't see me regularly as she can only see patients from her "county" on a regular basis). Well, she recommended a few things and included in that list was Cymbalta.... I talked it over with my current doctor and we ended up trying lexapro (to address the issues without weight gain). Well, after two days of worsening depression, major fatigue, feeling very spacy (forgetting where I had been and where I was driving) and some slight nausea I am reconsidering this decision. In researching Cymbalta it looks like this too causes fatigue...so I am wondering is Pristiq the right answer? Any suggestions?
