Hi, @jeanmnyc - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I merged your post with this one, as you mentioned wanting to get off of desvenlafaxine (Pristiq), and members in this thread have been discussing just that topic.
Here is an article with some general Mayo Clinic information on antidepressant withdrawal you may find useful: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/expert-answers/antidepressant-withdrawal/faq-20058133.
I'd also like you to meet @casey0603 @netty @nonnivee @losangeles90027 @bonny @missymooha and others from this discussion who may have input on some of the potential side effects you've experienced on this medication and how they worked with their physicians to taper off desvenlafaxine (Pristiq). @gailb may also have some thoughts for you.
How has your depression been on this medication?
