In reply to Cipralex to Pristiq (Washout period), posted by Vincent_QC on September 12, 2009, at 14:34:46
I believe that 5 days is long enough to wait between discontinuing Cipralex and beginning Pristiq. You could probably do a direct crossover like you did between Paxil and Cipralex, but if you are willing to wait the 5 days, you avoid the risk of developing serotonin syndrome. You might need to prepare for a temporary increase in anxiety.
I hope the Pristiq works well for you.
