DEPENDS ASK YOUR MD: Oh this is complicated as Strattera has some possible duplicate effects as the Pristiq. Check on the doses and may need to consider something else for anxiety/and or depression.

Anxiety/ Medications: Pristiq is used primarily for Depression and can cause Anxiety. At your age of 22, you possibly are going through stressors of relationships, school, work and finances which have caused anxiety and difficulty in concentration. Use of Alcohol and Drugs can also cause Anxiety. Please see a Psychiatrist for: • Diagnosis of Anxiety and ADHD • Therapy for stresses in your life • Discuss Medications
