Depression
"I took Pristiq for years and it was wonderful.  Unfortunately my insurance changed and I wound up on Effexor, which caused me horrific night sweats.  When I saw Pristiq had a generic, I was thrilled!  Now that I&#039;m on it, I realize it&#039;s not anywhere close to the brand name.  I feel terrible on it.  I have headaches, jaw pain, I have heartburn, and I&#039;ve even noticed some heart palpitations.  I&#039;m really disappointed in the generic, but I don&#039;t want to go back to Effexor and deal with the night sweats, so I&#039;m kind of at a loss for what to do.  I&#039;m hoping if I give the generic Pristiq more time, my system will adjust.  I feel for the rest of you are having issues, because it&#039;s not fun."
