Are Slurred Speech And Disorientation Side Effects Of Pristiq?

My 85 year old mother has been taking Pristiz for about 6 months. I ve noticed that she gets confused when talking, such as never remembering names of people she has known for a long time. She is contantly misplacing things. Sage just seems confused a lot. She is a very active person.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, dementia could be the cause and it may be due to age, it is better to see the psychiatrist just for once if she is not being consulted yet, such symptom could be temporary, else no need to worry about this hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
