Pristiq (Desvenlafaxine) is not in our textbooks. I looked it up on the FDA website instead :) It is an SNRI used to treat depression. It is very similar to Effexor.
Headache, N/V/D, drowsiness, and increased suicidal ideation, are common side effects. Do not take Pristiq if you are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant soon, and do not drink alcohol while taking Pristiq. Like always, do not take with an MAOI!
Before starting on taking any medication, it's best to consult a physician and of course, it doesn't hurt to do your research on a certain drug.
