Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) 100 stopped working can i supplement with 5htp rather than tapering off and on?

Pristiq (desvenlafaxine): Instead of using 2 medicines, talk to your prescribing doc. About possible dose adjustment or switching to different antidepressant.

Don't recommend it: Combining 5-hydroxytryptophan & Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) can ^ risk for serotonin syndrome. Please discuss with your psychiatrist.
