Pristiq effects/combos?

Posted by SheilaC on October 28, 2009, at 16:46:06

I have been taking Pristiq now for a few weeks (this is the 2nd time I have tried it) and it upsets my stomach something awful. It's embarrassing, I have terrible gas and bouts of constipation/diarrhea. I had some similar issues with Cymbalta.
I plan to stop Pristiq because I just can't deal with this any longer.
Here's the thing. I take Seroquel at night to help me sleep. Usually the Seroquel makes me really bitchy the next day. But since I have been taking Pristiq, I don't get the next day bitchies with my Seroquel.
I don't do well with a lot of serotonin, which is why I have tried both Cymbalta and Pristiq.
Are there other meds similar to Pristiq that I could combine with my Seroquel. Something not heavy in serotonin?
