I've been on Pristiq 50mg. a day for the last three weeks and my vision has been affected. I hope this will stop soon.
Has anyone experienced blurry vision while on Pristiq?

2 - 9% people who take Pristiq do have complaints of blurry vision, it is one of the many common side effects, unfortunately, there is no way that the doc would know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried. Therefore, please let the doc know of the side effects of blurry vision. While it may not be a side effect of Pristiq, the doc/pharmacist would be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
Take care, best wishes!
