Hi everybody,

I want to share my story with all of you, hoping that many can get benefit from my own expirience. Back on 2006 my personal trainer gave me some pills to (suposely) control my appetite. Thanks to those pills after just 10 days on them I started having panick attacks!! Almost all they long, and mostly while driving. As many of you know I was sure I was having a heart attack and going to die, so the ambulance would pick me up and take me to the hospital, everytime this happened. And after hospitalizing me, they would find everything ok..
When atlast found a good Dr. he, told me I was having panick attacks, and putted me on Lexapro and Ativan. Lexapro did not work for me, but ativan kind of help me some. But since I was still depressed and lacking of breath, 3 month ago he putted me on PRISTIQ. Now I can say I'm ALIVE!!..And I love being alive!!!

If you are depressed talk to your Dr. about PRISTIQ! It pays off!

PS: Make sure to take PRISTIQ in the morning, to avoid sleepiness. Also if you switch from another drug to this one, remember that what may appears to be side effects from this new med, could actually be withdrawls or descontinuation symtomps from your old med! DO NOT BLAME ON PRISTIQ! This is a great med!
Good luck!
