I switched from Lexapro to Pristiq. Disclaimer- everyone is different. If you spend enough time in r/Pristiq you will find experiences of just about all possible outcomes and side effects. Still was a little tired on Pristiq, but not as tired as Lexapro. And it became a lot more manageable after a couple weeks of taking it every morning.

My psychiatrist prescribed me pristiq, I'll go down from 10mg of lexapro to 5 these next few days then quit cold turkey. I was instructed to take 25mg of pristiq in the morning starting on the day I cut my Lexapro in half. Would love to hear about good experiences on pristiq or any experiences switching from Lexapro to pristiq!

I grant that the effect is real, as many women on Lexapro have found, but its administration has to be subtle.
