Pristiq (desvenlafaxine): This medication was prescribed to me for appetite suppression. I have been on it for 6 days now and have had no real side effects. I feel I may have had some depression issues I was not completely aware of, as I feel a bit more positive and in better spirits. I think it's too soon to tell overall how well this medication works. As of now, I have not experienced appetite suppression.

Pristiq (desvenlafaxine): I am on 150 mg of Pristiq and I have gained 10 pounds. This is not an appetite suppressant.

Pristiq (desvenlafaxine): I have been taking this now for 30 days and on the 13 day I felt dizzy and sick to my stomach. I also did not feel emotionally well for a few days after. I lost weight the first week and appetite has been suppressed somewhat. I continue to lose a few pounds a week. Doctor thinks the side effects I have had will diminish so I will be taking this for another month.

Pristiq (desvenlafaxine): I have been on this medication for about 2 months now. Started this medication for depression and had the pleasant side effect of appetite suppression for me. I didn't notice anything during the first month of use but during this second month I have noticed not being as hungry as well as eating smaller portions. I have also lost 10lbs in the last month and have more energy. I have had no major side effects but do have an occasional headache but Tylenol generally helps that!
