Menopause
EXCERPT:
"No study exists showing any anti-depressant including Pristiq works any better than a placebo for reducing hot flashes, which are subjective anyway and only last a few minutes long at worst," wrote another anonymous poster. "That is a heavy price to pay to take a heavy duty drug 24/7 for a few minutes of daily relief that a sugar pill also provides. FDA is crazy (or bought) if they allow this unproven drug travesty on the market."

A third poster predicted women wouldn't trade, "hot flashes for decreased libido, nausea, increased blood pressure and incredible withdrawal issues," found with Pristiq. "Women and their physicians are not as gullible as they were back in the Premarin days."
