pristique acts differently on everyone, it sounds like you need to talk to your doctor.
My doctor said 50mg is the theraputic dose, for me personally, 100mg made me suicidle but this does not mean it will happen to you.
Talk this through with you doctor.
Hugs And Good Luck!

im not taking this drug but have been there with mine just give it time and your symtoms should come down, there probably worse because your anxious about it. For fast beating heart do deep breathing it will slow it down, deep breath in the longer breath out through mouth do it for about 10 mins, the sweating is pure anxiety, for neaeusia sleep propt up a bitdrink get some peppermint or ginger tea. You will be ok, morning anxiety is all about worrying how you are going to feel try not to feed it, tell yourself this is temporary and will get better
