Hi ladies,
Is anyone here on Pristiq? I have been taking it for about 6 months now and initially it gave me the energy to get through a hectic day. Now I take it and can barely keep my eyes open on a not so hectic day! If I change to taking it at night will that help or will I still be tired the next morning? I literally have to nap for half an hour to an hour after I take it (which is after the kids are at school luckily) and then I wake up groggy but am fine after about another half an hour to an hour. It's driving me crazy!
Side note- could this be an effect due to current stress or is it the norm for these types of meds?
Thanks heaps for any advise or suggestions.
Should I change time for meds?

Go back and see your doctor, or more importantly, a psychiatrist who can manage your medication properly.
It may be that pristiq is no longer the best medication for your body.
I have noticed it not as effective anymore either but I dread changing meds. I will do what I need to though especially with holidays fast approaching I can't be like this with kids at home. Thanks for your reply
I went through like 6 before I found one that was the best fit - it’s a pain in the ass but worth it in the end
Could u increase the dose before changing meds?
