Started taking this primarily because migraines were out of control (2+/week lasting 1-3 days) and their intensity seemed to covary with night sweat severity. Gynecologist agreed that migraines might be due to low estrogen. Within 3 weeks--Stopped 90% of the migraines and reduced the intensity of those that remained. Night sweats stopped completely. Unexpected benefits were much better sleep and moderately improved mental clarity.

This drug was a miracle for me. I have found that Claritin does not become fully effective on the first dose. It seems that I need to take it for about a week before my sym... View full comment

The first few weeks on Pristiq I experienced nausea and upset stomach along with severe lethargy. After the third week things began to level out and I did notice that my mood began to lift and become more even. I am still tired a lot and my appetite has been suppressed (which is a good thing) but the nausea is... View full comment
