In reply to From Pristiq to Effexor, increased exhaustion?, posted by Reggie BoStar on August 28, 2009, at 20:51:15
I'm sorry Reggie--both or your fatigue and because it doesn't sound like a you're expecting much from the switch--and I can see why you wouldn't. However, I've heard that some respond to effexor and not pristiq....(I think effexor may be more 'activating' when it kicks in?
I was on 100 pristiq for about 7 weeks--before that 5 months on 50mg. The 100 definitely causes me fatigue that I did not experience at 50! Tonight I go down to 50. Hope I feel o.k.
Your situation sounds very frustrating--maybe others will have more to say.
best regards,
