17 yr old male. had depression. anxiety and ocd. he's on zoloft and wellbutrin. would it be wise to try pristiq (desvenlafaxine)?

Anxiety and ocd: First you need to know that wellbutrin (bupropion) is not effective in OCD and may actually make it worse shown in a study by vulink nc in 2005. Second please know that 30 %of all patients with OCD show insufficient improvement with state-of-the-art treatment. So before proceeding with treatment please have a test done by assurerx to determine genetically if his metabolism responds to the medications.

Not necessarily: Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) is a seratonin reuptake inhibitor such as Zoloft., so it does not necessarily have more to offer than Zoloft.
