I am 5 days into a switch from 100mgs of Zolot to 50 mgs of Pristiq.
Anyone out there well-versed on the two meds to answer this question:
Since I quit Zoloft "cold Turkey" ...could I be suffering the effects of Zoloft withdrawl AND Pristiq side-effects??
As I posted on the Medications Forum...I know I have put my body in distress by switching...reinstating...and switching again.
The PDoc told me I would have no problem, that the Pristiq would be a "substitute" for the Zoloft...but I have a feeling the two Meds are chemically different...so I think it would be natural for some type of reaction to the ABSENCE of Zoloft...AND the addittion pf Pristiq.
I am hyper...restless...cant sleep...my mood flucuates from manic to near suicidal....besides some dizziness, sinus problems...dry painful eyes
etc...What do you think? Withdrawl? Adjustment to the new Med? or Both?
