See your Dr. first.: Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) can cause your blood pressure to go up which might be causing your headaches. Check your blood pressure and get it treated if you think the Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) is helping your depression. Before you stop the Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) , talk to your doctor first.
