i have been prescribed pristiq 50 mg. for depression. after3 weeks i seem like a new person. my concern is that i read one of the side effects can be raising your cholesterol and triglicerides. which both of mine are high. iam not currently on meds for this, but my psychiatrist says not to take anything for this now as i had a reaction from lipitor in the past. does anyone know if this is a common side effect for pristiq?
