A member asked:

Currently taking pristiq100mg and wish to stop. is it dangerous to do so on my own by cutting the dosage until my supply is gone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it is: You should only do this under your doctor's direction. Prestiq is one of the medications that can cause a physical dependence, meaning there are withdrawal symptoms if you suddenly stop. You should get specific directions from your doctor on how to wean off of this medication.
