What Causes Memory Loss When Taking Pristiq?
Hello, I have been on Prestiq for a few months now and am starting to have some memory loss. Is this normal and should I continue to take it? I switched from Vybrid to Prestiq.....Vybris was much worse as I would lose memory of days at a time and not just isolated instances. Help!

Hello,
Memory loss is due to the anticholinergic effects of Pristiq. Discuss the issue with your doctor and consider reducing the dosage of Pristiq.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
