Is Effexor Advisable Over Pristiq For Anxiety Attacks?

I am currently on Prestiq and have been for the last few years. I have a chance to switch to Effexor and get my medicine free from the VA. I am paying about a $100.00 a month for Prestiq. Looking for ways to cut costs since I am retired. What would be your recommendation?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You can consider switching medications if you and your doctor have no problem with the effexor.

This is an effective antidepressant for some persons so it may work for you.


I hope this helps
