Likely due to the PR: Please see your prescribing physician to discuss. Options. Pritiq can cause nausea. It can also cause muscle aches, although less frequently. If a psychiatrist is not a member of your treatment team, now might be a good time to find one. Don't forget therapy, yoga, diet, exercise, relaxation therapy, spiritual counselin, meditation, and diet, exercise and acupuncture as other alternative options.
