Containing the active ingredient desvenlafaxine, Pristiq, like duloxetine (Cymbalta) and venlafaxine (Effexor) belongs to a class of medications known as SNRIs - similar but slightly different to citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva), and sertraline (Zoloft) which are SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) medications. Pristiq is thought to help prolong the presence of serotonin in the central nervous system by blocking its reuptake.
