In reply to Anyone do better on Pristiq than Effexor XR?, posted by BearFan on June 8, 2008, at 18:06:47
Hi,
I think my Efexor (venlafaxine) brew is pooping out, so I called the pharma company - thought they'd maybe have some insight into how the mysterious poop-out works. They didn't but the person I was talking to did say something interesting.
I asked her if Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) would be worth trying. She replied that it was very similar to Efexor, in that if Efexor had lost it's power - the Pristiq would almost certainly not be useful either.
So an interesting comment - straight from the horse's mouth. I still find it amazing what some of these people will tell you once you've warmed them up a little on the phone. ;)
Everyone is different, so maybe it will have a different effect for you. This seems to be the one thing they all agree on.
Good Luck.
Mr. M.
