It's been 2 weeks at 75 mg of Pristiq (1.5 x 50mg pills) and so far it hasn't been too bad. I was expecting worse, given my experiences with accidentally missing or late doses of Pristiq. I've been making notes when I can about what I'm feeling and these seem to be the most noticeable issues so far:
- Headaches! Not full out migraines, but moderately painful headaches. More than normal, I think I had at least one a day. Headaches often affected one side of my head, left or right, or right at the front above my eyes. Most of the time, two ibuprofen helped it enough to go on with my day.
- Exhaustion. I've been very tired. It could be the remnants of my chest infection.
- "Cognitive" issues. I don't know how to explain it, but it's almost like a foggy feeling, in my head. I feel slow. I can still get things done, but I feel like it takes me longer and takes more effort. Sometimes I can't remember if I've said things out loud, or just in my head.
So that's it. I've notice that I get more headachy as I near the evening hours when I'm due for my pills. Other than that, it's not too bad. So far. Knock on wood.
I have another appointment with my Dr this week, so we'll see how he thinks we should proceed.
