To 100mg. I definitely noticed a difference and have been very satisfied at this dose for quite some time and he says I'll probably end up staying at this dose. Hope I helped a little.Aimee i found out through my own shrink, that prestigue is just another name for paxil..which, ive heard dangerous things about. please ask your doctor, many wont tell you the facts !! or dont even know them for that matter... I was switched fromLexapro to cymbalta. Cymbalta is the same idea of prestiq. It is both a ssri and a snriwhen I made the switch I did not have to wein off Lexapro to go on cymbalta.I just finshed Lexapro one day and started yhe cymbalta the next. The Doctor told me that they were so much alike that I could just stop one day and start another.Believe me the cymbalta which is the same as Pretiq is so m uch better than Lexapro. For me anyway. I also lost about 12lbs when I stopped the Lexapro and the Effexor xr that I was on prior to the Lexapro And I have not experienced any side effects. Thank the Lord. Good Luck this. Changing meds is a big step as you are feeling awful anyway now you are not knowing what you are going to experience on a new medication. Good Luck and God Bless I also was on lexapro for over a year. It was awful for me also. I gained 20 pounds and that made mw feel worse. I was switched to pristiq about six months ago. I was told to stop lexapro cold turkey and start with pristiq the next day. I didn't experence any withdrawl symptoms. Be careful because everyone is different. I was not told I was being switched from a ssri to a snri but it worked out well for me. I still have not lost the lexapro weight and that worries me but all in all it was a good switch. I hopes this helps you and good luck. Hi Kiera,I've trialed several psychotropic medications throughout the past ten years or so for the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Depression, ADHD, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In addition, I am fortunate enough to have the experience of working in the field of working with Emotionally/Behaviorall Disturbed children, which involves a great deal of researching and staying up to date with psychotropic medications. While I have not personally taken Pristiq, I have been on Lexapro, which my physician slowly tapered me off of. In my personal and professional experience, most doctors prefer to taper off one medication prior to initiating a new medication due to the fact that if you change
