Is 25 mg prostiq effective for slight depression, doctor hasn't increase as he is concerned of low body weight. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: I have concerns about the dose you are taking as Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) does not come in a 25mg tablet, and you are not suppose to cut it in half. The tablet is designed to be slowly released into your system. If cut, it destroys this system releasing all the medication at once. This is a problem as the medication is out of your system to fast, and can cause it to be less effective and have more side effects.
