A member asked:
Do any doctors recommend pristiq (desvenlafaxine) for depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I know of patients: Who did not respond adequately to other antidepressants who did quite well on pristiq (desvenlafaxine). I don't normally prescribe it because it is not covered by the insurance company that most of my patients use.
