Will 100mg pristiq (desvenlafaxine) make me put on weight. does it slow the bmr down please. i feel so much sluggish and unmotivated ?

It usually doesn't : More than likely your feelings of sluggishness and lack of motivation will be helped by the pristique . Sounds like you have a lot of symptoms that will be helped by the pristique . Hope you feel better soon.

How it effects your: weight is hard to say because in 1% to 10% it causes increased weight or decreased weight or decreased appetite. Can't say which category you would fall into.
