get off of antidepressants

Ok, it seems now that the Pristiq is out of my system, I am starting to be a little more like me. I’m not saying Pristiq is a bad drug, in fact I absolutely loved it! However, with being on two antidepressants at once (though necessary at the time) was a little too much. I started to lose interest in just about everything and really didn’t care about anything at all. I am starting to become a little happier.

It’s a sad time in my life to say good bye to my beloved Pristiq! I know the benefits outweighed the risks during the time I was taking it. Unfortunately, it isn’t the right medicine for me. I am hoping this time around, Wellbutrin alone will be enough to do the trick. We’ll see! The doctor took me off of Pristiq because of a few side effects (nausea, lack of interest, elevated blood pressure). I never thought my body would go through “withdrawal” but it is! I just stopped Pristiq on Friday. Friday I was fine, Saturday – Monday I felt drunk all day long. Today is much better. Hopefully it keeps getting better for me. I am seeing me become me again, and that is what matters most.
