I was on Pristiq 50 mg for 34 days and decided to quit cold turkey. It's day 4 now and I am jittery, a bit agitated and my appetite has increased. I was having crazy dreams and problems sleeping, but last night was a little better. I know cold turkey wasn't the way to go, but I couldn't take the fog I was in anymore, being on Pristiq, and my psychiatrist went away for two weeks. Hope this helps someone.

Hello mookiewook. I really am glad that you're doing better. And yes, appreciate you telling us that cold turkey is not the route to go. hopefully others might read your post and they might benfit, that a taper is the best, safest, and most comfortable route to take. Best of wishes and good health,pledge
