Was wondering what the benefits of Pristiq are compared to the regular Effexor XR?

Isn't it cause the patent on effexor was running out? Not really sure. Are you on it? Phillipa

My pdoc has suggested that if Remeron poops out on nme that we might consider it. He said it's supposed to be "cleaner" than Effexor with fewer side effects.
It's nice to have something in the arsenal. One of my biggest fears is having nothing left to try. Realistically, I'm a long way away from that - I've only really failed with the SSRI class of drugs so far, and Remeron is working at 45mg.
