Different drugs do different things to people though. I Do not have bipolar disorder, I have depression. I was diagnosed bipolar though because I was manic on Aropax (paxil) I went of this and was changed to effexor and haven't had a manic episode since, that was 8 years ago.   Now I am off effexor and seeing a therapist to actually deal with depression rather than just popping a pill. Pills do help with chemical levels but if your life ***** then a pill won't make it better.

this is what pristiq was doing to me until i took a zanex 30 min ago....i know the feeling!

i was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and severe depression but the dr. wasnt 100%  sure if i was or was not bi polar one...so she prescribed me 50 mg pristiq and 25 mg lamictal.  she told me if i was in fact bi polar that the pristiq would make me go totally manic.

just 3 days in and i am totally manic.  totally completely it is scary.  unless i am doing something at all times i am losing it.

my body is 10 steps behind my brain.

nightmare....so hey way up there never ever take pristiq ever if you are bi polar.

i called my dr but have to wait until tomorrow around noon to talk to her and i am supposed to take these meds in the morning...i am NOT going to....i don't care what anyone says.

this s""t aint right
