I have been on Pristiq for several months now for depression. Although I feel much better, I now get about 40 hot flashes a day, severe ones, and I am woken up every night at least four times with night sweats. I feel like I am losing my mind. I thought maybe I was in premenopause, but I still get a regular period. (I am 48 years old.) These hot flashes and night sweats are so bad I want to sit and cry. They are ruining my life. Even if I am beginning to go into premenopause, these syptoms have come on so suddenly and are so extreme that I finally began to research it and have found that the Pristiq could be the reason for this. Has anyone else experienced this? They are so bad and have effected my life so severly that I'd almost rather be depressed. I am at the end of my rope.
