Question

... Did Wyeth Pharmaceuticals write this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.111.209.115 (talk) 18:16, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, I really wonder that too.

I mean to me pristiq just seems like another example of evergreening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.177.83.61 (talk) 14:03, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So is Pristiq FDA approved? In Laymans terms what are the contraindications? uses? side effects? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.32.144.252 (talk) 05:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article seems really lacking in explaining the extremely severe withdrawal effects that this drug will cause... I've heard countless horror stories about being unable to cease use after even a couple of weeks

i hope so cause thats what i have been given i missed one day after being on them for two weeks, major vomiting, severe dizzy spells and dihorea i took it then after a couple of hours i was fine. That really worries me i urge people not to take it eppecially if you are easily addicted to anything. I should have researched it before i started takin it but i was in a vunerable state and just wanted help. Surely there would have to be natural alternatives. If i was a doctor i would not give anything addictive to a patient if they were a recovering drug addict as i am of 5yrs that just proves the doctors just wana push patients through and overprescribes these sorts of drugs, we should be told of other options. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.18.175.141 (talk) 10:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Information from the European rejection of this drug has been added. I assure you that Wyeth did NOT add this. :) Norman666 (talk) 05:56, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Who added the part under External Validity? Its only reference is the medication's package insert. Any claim that people of different ethnic backgrounds respond differently to a drug needs to be highly documented. Was this person making things up? Ophelia3141 (talk) 16:49, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, this page doesn't contain a complete list of all side-effects. Ophelia3141 (talk) 19:38, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

EU Status

While I understand the desire to remove the bias that may have been present in previous versions of this article, it is not reasonable to respond to a POV article by removing the POV statements you disagree with and adding your own POV statements. As such, I don't see it as proper for this article to contain such a long section on the EMA's rejection of desvenlafaxine. Very few drug articles have much more than a list of countries in which a drug is available and the dates those countries approved its use. While it may be significant to mention that the EMA rejected the drug, the context does not call for five quotations of EMA documents that all say the same thing. A simple "this drug was rejected by the European Union's EMA on xyz grounds" with citations is enough. --Aurochs (Talk | Block)

Withdrawls~! Help!!!!

Hello my name is Matthew, i am a recovering addict, i have been on Tramadol for 6 years for a back injury....and i wanted to come off because of severe seizures. well i went ot my hometown behavioral center and got off of it, it wasn't without hardship ( 1 week of severe withdrawls, included excessive sweating, vomitting diarreha, cramps, anorexia,and headaches. ) well they put me on a low dose of suboxone for my back pain, and Pristiq for anxiety & bipolar secondary to the Tramadol. well, i was treated for two weeks and then released on my own devices... i had to pay out of pocket for the Suboxone and Pristiq. Suboxone being $250.00 and The pristiq was $191.00 well, i chose the Subxone, only because i was still in pain. ..I had real bad reactions to the suboxone (excessive swaeting) i asked my doc to switch me to Subutex which is Suboxone w/o the Narcan which i thought was the culprit for the hyperhydrosis ( excessive sweating) I had to re-enter the behavioral center to get a med change. well, when i had left the behavioral center this time.... they let me have two weeks supply of my drugs which included the PRISTIQ (50mg 1 Tablet PO Daily.) and the Subutex... now i am on subutex and i don't seat!~ yay! i thought, well, i ran out of my PRISTIQ three days ago and i started to have severe headaches and crampa and diarreah. just like oipiod withdrawls. and Brain Zaps! Twitches and such!~ i'm horrible everytime i move i sweat, even if i drop something and pick it up i start to sweat!~ this is horrible!~ i read where the SNRI'S are putting people thru withdrawls.. I now have two refills of 15 pills on my bottle, i have to come up with $90.00 just for 15 pills!~ this is not fun, i am calling my doctor to have me switched to Venafaxine ( Effexor) which is the same damn drug!~ just a cheaper price! WTF! ~ Thanks ~~ Matthew M.

Khedezla

I think Khedezla, brand name for desvenlafaxine, should be added to reflect the existence of this new medication. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.40.174.115 (talk) 08:10, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tertiary alcohol?

Chemists: Is desvenlafaxine a tertiary alcohol like ethchlorvynol? If it is, then please put Category: Tertiary alcohols in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.245.53.33 (talk) 21:35, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Does desvenlafaxine make you tired when you start the drug or give you energy?

Doctor said to take in morning because it might cause you to have insomnia. Pharmacist said to take at night because it will make you tired. HELP!!! What's been your experience? Susie — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.206.222.148 (talk) 01:04, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Include Why the EU did not approve the medication?

Hello, I’m not familiar with editing on Wikipedia so I just wanted to drop an idea in here. As it is now, someone must click the source pdf to see *why* the EU did not approve desvenlafaxine.

It may be beneficial to include a small summary of the paper and its critiques in this article 2601:940:C001:CA90:B4A7:10CD:7AA5:2B7C (talk) 18:40, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
