Anxiety
"I was prescribed pristiq last year for depression &amp; anxiety. At 1st I did not want to take any meds due to a bad experience with Prozac when I was 30. I am now in my 50s. After the first day I felt amazingly better. I got up early &amp; felt incredible clarity, focus &amp; worthiness. At that time I weighed 120. I gained 5lbs &amp; probably lost muscle. Prior to pristiq I was very physically active. I feel very calm now &amp; go for walks but for whatever reason I do not work out like I did before. Soon after getting on pristiq I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism even though I was quite fit &amp; thin. So I was put on levothyroxine for that condition. I would say the weight gain &amp; some sleepiness has been a side effect for me but not sure from which medicine."
