Hello all,
I am on day 8 of pristiq, and my mood is greatly improved, my anxiety is much better and I feel like my normal self may be coming out again!
My question is, since about day 4 of being on the meds I have noticed an increase in back pain, both in the upper and lower back areas, my anxious mind worries that the medicine, may be affecting my kidneys causing the pain, my logical mind says that it is the tension being released from my body as I am not as anxious.
Is this a normal thing? Anyone else experience this? Could the pain be from my muscles " healing " from being anxious for so long? I any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
