A member asked:
Hello, i currently take 50mg of pristiq (desvenlafaxine) daily for both depression and anxiety. would this make taking mdma more risky than normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: taking both Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) and MDMA increases the risk of Serotinin syndrome: symptoms can range from mild (shivering and diarrhea) to severe (muscle rigidity, fever and seizures).
