Hi guys,
I am almost a month into my tapering of Pristiq.
I was switched from 7 years of Zoloft, because of a job last last August that sent me into severe depression, to Pristiq.
After gaining 35 pounds...High Blood pressure..being unemployed and it being the dead of Winter here;;;..I have tapered down to once-every-3-days of 50 mg's of pristiq ( smallest dose available).
Things were going pretty well, but for the last few days the depression has returned along with other symptoms.Itching, fatique, aches and pains, trouble sleeping, anxiety and a "restless" feeling I have never experienced before.
I cannot really explain this new symptom with words.
It is a feeling of...emptiness..or embarrasment..I dont feel like being around anyone...YET the isolation and loneliness is equally agonizing.
Its like an inner nervousness,,,,uncomfortable feeling....like something is just not quite right.
Any ideas? I know I am not being very descriptive
but I am really puzzeled by this emotion,..or feeling...or symptom, or what ever it is!Any help would be appreciated
BF
