    Reviewed desvenlafaxineon 6/18/2019I take it at bedtime - it doesn't help with sleep, but I find that it works better, for some odd reason if you take it at night, rather than morning. And as a side note: If you get the generic, get the GREENSTONE one. It is the real deal - made by manufacturer!

    Reviewed desvenlafaxineon 5/28/2019I've been taking this medication for a little over a month for depression and anxiety. I have noticed night sweats and fatigue shortly after taking it. My mood has seemed to improve, but PMS symptoms are worse than they have been in a long time. I dont know if that's related, but I have noticed increased anxiety, irritability and depression during PMS to where the week prior to my period is hell. I am going to take it for another month and hope it sorts out.

    Reviewed desvenlafaxineon 5/3/2019I switched from cymbalta which I loved, but it stopped working for me and I had a major break down. They switched me to prestiq. I had to start low because I’m so sensitive to medication. It seems to help but I’m still not 100 or even 75 percent back to myself. I have only been taking the 50mg for 2 weeks. But it’s still not a major help. I do have tremors every now again.
