Similar types of med: Both Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) and venlafaxine are antidepressants that inhibit the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. This class of medication rarely have sexual side-effects . I don't understand why you are switching from Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) back to venlafaxine if you had sexual effects from venlafaxine.What do you mean by novo venlafaxine? There are two types, the immediate and the extended release.What is suitable?
