I did well on 150mg of pristiq. But my insurance wont pay for over 100mg and I can't afford the other 50mg. I am feeling okay though. I tried adding other anti depressants but there were too many side effects. I hope that it helps. I like pristiq.

Best wishes...

Hugs, Karen...

I've never taken meds for my depressions but I do believe they are always situational,
Wishing you success in feeling better
All my best

Found out you can test for levels of pristiq in a special blood test. Shrink a tad concerned, and i suggested we do bloods for lamotrigine as well. Await path slip. Bloods will be sent to Perth in Western Australia. Reference lab.
Seen gp today. Had peer worker and support worker, busy.

Bonus news, smar***ch found! Yes in support workers car, under her kids booster seat, the kid dropped something and the mum got a two for one!!! Get it next week.
got other bs to sort. HT
