In reply to Effexor equivalent to Pristiq?, posted by SheilaC on December 28, 2010, at 6:12:08
> I love Pristiq, but I hate what it does to my tummy. It gives me terrible gastro intestinal issues. My tummy gets so loud after I take Pristiq other people notice and think I'm sick!

> I have a hard time with low dose Effexor due to the high serotonin effect. I think I remember hearing that higher doses of Effexor are like Pristiq?

>You aren't going to give up Pristiq because of gastro issues? That is pretty common with any SNRI/SSRI. I know the benefit of pristiq is the fact that you don't need a slow tapering up to beneficial doses. I don't know if that makes sense.
