Hi Alan,
I don't know. I'm kinda' stumped by what your therapist said. I've never heard that type of advice given. I hear you say you have anxiety and depression--but I'm not convinced that what your therapist says is correct nor helpful to you as a client of his or hers.
I don't know your history, how long you've been with your therapist, how many meds you have tried.... Many people here have childhood trauma and abuse and they are not told such advice (at least to my knowledge). I'd be very upset if my therapist said that to me. I'd ask for an explanation asap.
And btw, some people do not respond to pristiq. Are you doing pristiq monotherapy?
Don't know if this is helpful or not--.
very best wishes, and I hope your new job goes well,
