Brief Answer:
Adding abilify in small dose may help

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

It is likely due to weaning of past medicines mainly abilify. If abilify can be added in small dose at night again you may be fine. Desvenlafexine does not not cause such side effect generally.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr Chintan Solanki.
