Hello & welcome
as far as problem related to your oral cavity this is because of Xerostomia.
A common side effect of antidepressants.
start consuming lots of fluids, tyake eatables which helps in secretion of saliva like lime juice, citus fruits etc.
you can try artificial salivary substitute.
rest meet your physician for dose adjustment of your drugs.
thanks & take care

Hi,
Thank you for the query.
Usage of anti depressants is usually associated with many side effects and pristiq is one among them.when you are on anti depressants the apetite might vary as well, like it can lead to weight gain or weight loss. Tongue struck feeling may be because of xerostomia. I would advice you to check for any heart or renal or thyroid problem which usually presents with edema in the legs and weight gain .
Hope this helps you.
