I think may know what symptom you're talking about-- it's like restless leg syndrome but for your whole brain and body. It's like you have to move or do something or scream or something but nothing helps. It's a horrible inner agitation that almost has an outer manifestation. I call them anxiety attacks but I don't really think that's the right term. I may be totally off here and experiencing something totally different, but what you were saying sounded like what I had when I quit Pristiq. It was actually when I was on washout from all my anti-depressants, so I can't connect it directly with Pristiq and it may just be a part of my depression. If you can get ahold of some PRN anxiety medication, that helped me. I was using ativan 4mg when I had those spells come on and that would help. Good luck with the Pristiq withdrawal-- it can be tough.
