Hi,
Pristiq affects the same neutrotransmitters as Effexor, serotonin and norepinephrine, and at high doses, dopamine, but its metabolism and formulation is different from and "cleaner" than Effexor's, so theoretically there should be less side effects. I don't think this new formulation would reduce the rapid cycling tendencies, but I do think that being on the mood stabilizer and zyprexa definitely will.oceancat (SLS's friend)
