How long do withdrawals from Prestiq last?

15 Jan 2012

The bad physical withdrawals should be starting to get better by day five or six depending on the person and your mind set.

Unfortunately it could last another week or so, but since it has already been almost a week the withdrawal effects should gradually lessen. If it really is unbearable you could try the lowest dose of Pristiq and take it every other day for a couple of weeks, then every third day for a couple of weeks before stopping again.

I suggest you contact your doctor and let him know. He can change your dose to fit your needs. However you must let him know !

It will take time. I have been going through the very long withdrawal process over the past 2 months, have been completely off the nasty drug for 23 days, and am STILL having slight withdrawal symptoms (dizzy, mind zaps, headache). I am hoping that they will end soon as I am now on an actual detox program to get rid of the drug. HORRIBLE DRUG with HORRIBLE WITHDRAWAL symptoms... would have been nice to know when I first started taking it. Good luck - look to friends and family for support - take vitamins and eat as healthy as you can. When you think you may be going "crazy"... try not to panic, take a deep breath and know that it's the drug and not you.
