It's true that the taste is awful, and the bit of numbing is weird! But I have never slept better, and I wake up without any drug effects.

Have been on Pristiq for 5 days. My doctor prescribed it for my anxiety and panic attacks. Side effects are horrible; nausea, fatigue, sweating, cold chills, blurred vision, no apetite, shaky etc. Still waiting for these to subside as I haven't been able to work or really leave my house as I dont want to have a car accident and my anxiety has gotten worse! Will wait it out for another week or so and see what happens.

Can fall asleep but the sleep is very restless, if at all. I'd rather be hypertensive.
