A member asked:
I have been off pristiq (desvenlafaxine) for about a week and would like to begin taking gaba and 5-htp. can i begin taking them now?

Check with your doc: Desvenlafaxine has a half life of 11 hours and should be completely washed out after one week. However, some doc must have given you g and 5-htp. Check with your doc. Probably safe but better be safe.
