Given pristiq (desvenlafaxine) and cymbalta. those drugs kept me up all night. is seroquel more sedating?

Meds: Pristq and Cymbalta (duloxetine) act in a similar manner and increase risk for high blood pressure, sexual side effects and potentially life threatening serotonin syndrome consult your md before making any changes.

If you are not comfortable or unsure about the medication your Doctor prescribed then it is advisable to get a second opinion from a Psychiatrist after you have had a complete physical exam by your Primary Care Physician to rule out any underlying illness. A Clinical Psychologist can also help you with psychotherapy.
