weaning off of Prestiq.

Postby geminio » Wed May 27, 2009 12:04 am

Thank you to the person who answered me. I spoke to my doctor today. She told me to cut the Prestiq in half and take 1/2 of a 50 mg tablet along with 40mg of prozac. The only problem that I see is that Prestiq only comes in extended release. Well, I took 1/2 of the extended release pill. I cut it in half and I took 40mg of prozac. I already feel the tingling in my feet returning, which is a sign of depression. I had this tingling and it went away after about 1 month of prestiq. The reason that I don't like the Prestiq is the bloating and weight gain. I guess if I need the medication I will have to put up with it. Anyway, we will see how this goes.

I turely believe that I "do" have clinical depression. I have been depressed since childhood. I've been on antidepressants since I was 22. I am 48.
