What is PRISTIQ?

How does PRISTIQ work?

Depression is a serious medical condition that can hold you back from what you enjoy. And while no one knows for certain what causes it, experts believe that depression results when certain chemicals in the brain are out of balance. These chemicals, called neurotransmitters, relay messages from one brain cell to another.

The good news is that depression can be treated.

PRISTIQ is thought to work by affecting the levels of two of these brain chemicals, serotonin and norepinephrine — both thought to play a role in depression. If depression is holding you back from what you enjoy, PRISTIQ may help. Ask your health care professional if PRISTIQ may be right for you.

Common Questions about PRISTIQ

Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, teens, and young adults. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy or when the dose is changed should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior such as becoming agitated, irritable, hostile, aggressive, impulsive, or restless. Should these occur, report them to a doctor right away. PRISTIQ is not approved for use in children under 18.
