"I was put on the generic for menopausal symptoms. Hot flashes flashes irritability depression anxiety. It took right at 4 weeks (30 days) to work. I was about to give up. Because the Brand worked better and I was on it 3 years ago. I'm on 50mgs and feel great. Only side affect I had was no appetite and had lots of energy. So I take it in the morning. Brand worked faster to me and generic took right at 4 weeks."

Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) "I have been on Pristiq for 3 months. Before this time, I have been having severe bouts of rage and anger due to PMS. For 2 weeks a month, I was not able to control myself. On this medicine I am under full control! No more screaming or fits of rage. No more shaking from such anxiety. I am on 50 mg. I would highly recommend this medicine. My only side effect is weight gain. I have gained 15 pounds. I'm dieting and exercising to combat this affect. I'm not going off this medicine for that reason. It's the only one that has worked for me."

Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) "About three weeks ago, I began having around 20 hot flashes per day and going through night sweats about 4 times per night. About 5 days ago my doctor put me on Pristiq. He did this as my Father recently passed away and several other personal things have happened and I didn't start my period this month either. He said it would take care of the night sweats, hot flashes and depression, grief and anxiety. I have been on this pill for 5 days now. I have lost four lbs., have gone from a pk. of cigarettes per day to four cigarettes. Am only getting night sweats about twice a night and have gone from about 21 hot flashes per day to about 4. So far so good. I do feel a little tired but no agitation, no more confusion, crying and emptiness. I feel like I am slowly getting back to being me. So far, I am so thankful for Pristiq. "
