Hello,
Pristiq is used to treat depression and as with other anti depressants, it also causes withdrawal effects. The symptoms you are experiencing are all withdrawal effects of Pristiq. Don't worry, these symptoms will gradually go away.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
