I wish I could tell you... I tried to switch from Celexa to Pristiq in September and my body went crazy with the side effects. I made it through 8 days and asked to be switched. I am now on Paxil and doing much better. Please know that from what I've read here many people make it through the initial side effects and are very successful on Pristiq. I just didn't have the stamina or it wasn't right for me. I wish you the best of luck :)
