I've just started taking Pristiq 100mg tablets for my depression. My doctor says it should help balance my serotonin and norepinephrine, but I'm curious about others' experiences. How long did it take for you to feel the effects? What side effects did you encounter, and how did you deal with them? Any tips or things I should watch out for? I'm a bit anxious about the serious side effects listed, like serotonin syndrome. Is that something that happens often, or is it really rare? I want to be prepared for anything that might come up. What should I expect?
