Common Questions and Answers about Desvenlafaxine dose
pristiq
In clinical studies of the recommended 50-mg dose, the percentage of people who stopped taking PRISTIQ due to side effects was similar to placebo (sugar pill).

Hope this helps you. Good Luck!
PRISTIQ is an extended-release tablet for oral administration that contains desvenlafaxine succinate, a structurally novel SNRI for the treatment of MDD.
Pristiq is an SNRI while Wellbutrin is not. Abilify is not in either class, it is totally different.
Desvenlafaxine, (Pristiq) like any of the psychotropic meds, has a great number of possible side effects, but a delay in menstrual cycles is NOT listed in the PDR.
If there is no possibility you may be pregnant, the delay in your period is no doubt due to stress relative to the depression.
Since you have only been on desvenalafaxine for one week, I'm assuming your prescribing doctor wants you back for a follow up in a few weeks time.
I am taking 15 mg. elavil (very low dose) for depression and nerve pain. I just started two weeks ago. I think it has been causing some problems with my asthma and it says don't use albuterol inhaler. Has anyone switched from Elavil(or any tricyclic) to an SNRI? Can you do this immediately? I mean stop one -start taking another the next day.
Pristiq is nothing but an active metabolite of Effexor (venlafaxine being Effexor and desvenlafaxine being Pristiq). Honestly, it should be about as effective as Effexor is. The only reason it was created is because Effexor's patent (if it hasn't already) and soon will be a generic, cheap drug. The pharmaceutical companies always come up with a new drug to push over the old ones whenever this happens because they don't make even a quarter of the money off of the generic drugs.
In reality that is the dose exposed to at the skin on the beam side, and the dose decreases with tissue depth as some of the radiation is absorbed at each level as it penetrates tissue and is therefore gone and cannot expose the deeper tissues. Many people don't understand this, but tissues actually absorb radiation, and only a small % of the radiation exits the body to form the image. Say 100% radiation enters the skin, maybe a few percent leaves on the backside.
A quarter grain is a very conservative dose, but I could be more specific if you post the lab work that led to her decision (with reference ranges from your own lab report, please).
"She is also waiting 6 weeks to recheck and then only doing TSH as she says I don't need the T3 and T4 checked anymore since surgery." Six weeks is too long when actively adjusting meds. Four weeks is plenty of time. She's dead wrong about just testing TSH.
i am a non responder,after 2 previous tratments with other interferons,now after having a liver biopsy my dr wants me to go on pegasys with copegus, he wants to prescribe the 180mcg/0.5ml shot along which is prefilled but he wants me to take some of the other prefilled shot which would make it more than the normal 180 mcg. i did not ask him exactly how much it will total cause i have doubts about this,i have never heard of this. and may just stick with the 180 once a week.
Welp...Took my final dose (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir/riba) this morning and gave my 12 week blood draw. We shall see. Doc gave me a realistic 80's % chance of svr given my prior Tx's and the fact I am cirrhotic. I have a better chance than ever before.
Yes, you are being too impatient. The 50 mcg is a starting dose. Dependent on the levels of your biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4, it may take a while to ramp up your meds to achieve symptom relief. In addition, if your doctor only tests for TSH and medicates accordingly, you may never get there.
I am on Tecfidera 240 mg dose. It just occurred to me I missed the morning dose. I have a call into the specialty pharmacy for direction. I didn't find much on the web except "take it as soon as you remember and if close to your next dose take it then but don't double up". This is the first time I missed since starting therapy last month. I feel terrible. Is this incredibly bad?
Second, the efficacy of azithromycin in a 2 g dose for gonorrhea depends on taking the entire dose at once. Taking a second 1 g dose a day later will be no more effective.
Finally, in the very unlikely chance you also have gonorrhea, 1 g of azithromycin probably would sufficient, over 90% reliable. The higher dose is recommended more as a safety factor, not because it's all that much more effective.
