i know you all said its a patent extender for Effexor XR, but i was wondering if you could tell me the "properties" of this med.
i know effexor effects is an SNRI and effects
5-HT reuptake inhibition +++
NE reuptake inhibition ++
DA reuptake inhibition +
and didn't know if pristiq has the exact same properties or different ones.i have also heard that Pristiq is less effective than effexor, and that might be a good thing for me. has anyone also heard this?
when i was on effexor (my first drug administered) i rapid cycled about every other day.
what i'm thinking now is that if pristiq is not as strong i wont get as dramatic effect AND now i'm also on a mood stabilizer and AP(zyprexa), so that may hinder any cycling. please tell me if anyone disagree's with this line of thinking.my next option is to try TCA's but i'm concerned about them due to their OD risk. having that temptation, knowing there is a stronger risk is knawing at me already, and its kinda scaring me. so i want to try something else first.
nothing thats going to make me uber tired like cymbalta, the zyprexa does that enough.but i was wondering which nuerotransmitters and such were effected.
if you know could you respond?GREATLY APPRECIATED.
