Pristiq is an FDA-approved SNRI used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD). It influences brain chemicals serotonin and norepinephrine to elevate mood. It is available as an extended-release tablet taken once daily.
Approved in 2008, Pristiq can improve depression symptoms in as little as one week. It is sometimes used off-label for anxiety, panic disorder, menopausal hot flashes, and other depressive conditions.
Pristiq works by preventing the reabsorption of serotonin and norepinephrine, increasing their levels in the brain. Elevated levels of these neurotransmitters help improve mood and reduce depressive symptoms. Effects typically appear after 1–2 weeks of consistent use.
Pristiq is FDA-approved for adults aged 18 and older with major depressive disorder. Off-label, providers may prescribe it for other depression forms or anxiety based on individual assessment. Your healthcare provider will determine if it’s suitable for you.
On Klarity, you can consult with a licensed healthcare provider who will evaluate your condition. If deemed necessary, your provider will prescribe Pristiq and send the prescription to your preferred pharmacy or arrange direct delivery. Appointments often are available within 24 hours.

The typical dose is 50 mg once daily, with a maximum of 400 mg per day. Your provider will start you at a lower dose if needed and gradually increase it. Take tablets whole, with or without food, at the same time each day.
If discontinuing, do so gradually to prevent withdrawal symptoms like dizziness or nausea. Report any side effects such as nausea, insomnia, or increased blood pressure to your provider promptly.
Common side effects include nausea, dry mouth, dizziness, headache, and sweating. Serious risks involve increased blood pressure, hypersensitivity, hyponatremia, and seizures. Pristiq carries an FDA boxed warning for suicidal thoughts in young adults aged 18–24.
If you experience thoughts of self-harm or worsening depression, seek immediate medical attention. Always discuss potential interactions and contraindications with your provider.
The brand-name medication costs approximately $470 for a 30-day supply. Generic desvenlafaxine offers significant savings, costing about $75–$97 for 30 tablets, depending on dosage. Pfizer offers a savings card reducing costs to as low as $4 per month.
Pristiq, an SNRI, is comparable in efficacy to Effexor and Cymbalta. Studies suggest Pristiq is often better tolerated with fewer side effects. It is a top choice for treating MDD when balanced against other options like SSRIs or TCAs.
SSRIs focus on serotonin alone and are usually better tolerated but may be less effective for some. TCAs target multiple neurotransmitters but tend to have more side effects. Your provider will recommend the best medication based on your profile.
