I have been on Pristiq for about a year and it has been a life saver for me. the last five years have been tragic. My mother died suddenly of meningitis at the age of 67, 4 years ago our son took his life after battling depression and bipolar disorder for half of his life, then 8 months after he died, my sister and her husband were killed in an auto accident.
.I was diagnosed last year with PTSD and depression (no bi-polar symptoms), went through some therapy and I have been on a vriety of different medications to try and deal with everything, but nothing really helped until Pristiq. I can laugh and smile again and feel human, however... I am really getting concerned about my increasing social isolation and fatique. I just seem to have no motivation or energy . . . BUT I will gladly give up my social life to NOT feel the crushing despair and sadness that I had been going through! It's a shame that it's an either/or situation.
Any suggestions anybody?
