Is pristiq (desvenlafaxine) a good anti depressant, is it likely i am too gain, what can i expect please. thank you ?

Prustiq: In my experience I have never found an antidepressant that works for everyone. I have had people tell me that a medication saved their life and others who have told me that the same pill was the worst they ever felt and stopped it in 48hrs. I usually start at low dose and gradually increase to lowest effective dose. This is a journey ; get dr. Who will b with u ; not do to you. B patient!

Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) has a low: Incidence of weight gain. It is a very reasonable antidepressant given your circumstances. Take care. Dr. Jacobson.
