TJ on Apr, 12, 2012:

I discontinued both Prempro and Pristiq one month ago. I'm a 49 year old female who was in menapause at age 40. I have been on prempro for 9 years and different anti-depressants for 20 years. (Zoloft, Effexor, Pristiq, ....) etc. Up until now, I haven't had very many side-effects. After a month of not taking either medicine, I find some irrational thinking, hot flashes, mild depression, crying easily, and lack of sexual interest. Will these symtoms go away after I have been off these medications for a period of time?

I always said I would stop before it became a problem, well I didn't realize it was a problem until it was too late to get out. And it happened quicker than I would have ever imagined. Do not abuse drugs, they are fun at first but when they start to destroy your life they control you to where you cant stop.
