A member asked:
Is 150mg pristiq a high dose? psychiatrist is happy with dose but gp said its high, very concerned now that its dangerous ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not too high: Studies report 50-400mg of pristiq effective , though evidence also suggests that there is no evidence of greater benefit beyond 50mg.
