I started taking this a few months ago, and I started feeling better imediately. My friends noticed a difference in me a few weeks after I started taking it. Has anyone else tried this medication?

Pristiq is an evolution of the drug Eflexor. I am taking it in combination with Seroquel and Lithium. Previously I had taken Lamictal. The Pristiq seems to be working better, although it is quite expensive, being a new drug.

I take it and seem to be fine on it....but i do take vyvanse for ADD...so i think it might make the Pristiq not work as well,not sure though

I find that I get aggitated in the afternoon,that maybe from the ADD medication though.
