Just wondering if anyone has switched from Pristiq to Effexor? I’ve heard Pristiq is a newer version of Effexor. Pristiq stopped working for me and wonder if I switched to Effexor, that it was different enough that it might work.

Thanks!

I switched from Effexor to Pristiq. The transition was easy. Both work well for me but I need a high dose and my insurance wont cover it so I added Lexapro. I hope that the transition is smooth for you. Sorry I am not much help.

Even if Pristiq is a newer version of Effexor, is it supposed to be better than the Effexor? Is it more effective, in general? Does it come with less potential side effects?
