" I've never heard of that medicine before, but I do believe that it's difficult to detach from someone that you're close to, such as a significant other or an ex. It's been difficult from me. I don't even know if it's possible. I hope you're able to get through this sometime in the near future. "

" I also take Prestiq and am having good luck with it. For me, detachment is a problem in that I seperate myself into loneliness but I do experience the anger you speak of. I mainly want everyone to leave me alone and let me be mad. That way I don't hurt anyones feelings. I hope for you that can detach when your angry if possible. Good luck. "

" Prestiq is a new SNRI. (Serotonin Norephinefrne Re-Uptake Inhibitor)
I take 100mg in the morning and since I've started it I've felt considerably better...less depression, fatique, etc. "
