Pristiq™ is a prescription medicine often used for the treatment of depression. It is part of a class of drugs called serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), which work by acting on certain chemicals within the brain. Pristiq comes in the form of an extended-release tablet, so it only needs to be taken once a day. Potential side effects include dry mouth, headache, and dizziness.
