Day 3 of Pristiq and I feel like I'm being drowned in concrete. Can't get out of bed, absolutely exhausted. No appetite, diarrhea, heart palpitations, shaky legs, can't concentrate, lump in my throat. The list goes on.
Please tell me it will get better soon. I know I have to give it time but I don't know how long I can sustain this for. I have a family and a job. This is just the worst feeling.

I am sorry you are going through such nightmare.
Yes, it does get better, usually side effects resolve themselves and at the most last 2 weeks, sometimes less depending on how your organism adjusts to the antidepressant, so hang in there things will pass and as I have said they get better.
