I would like to know what dose of Pristiq is commonly taken because I am transitioning from Cymbalta to Pristiq. Right now I am taking about 15 mg of Cymbalta and 150 mg of Pristiq. In the past, I have always taken higher doses of antidepressants, but I am not totally sure what the upper end dose of Pristiq is.
If you take Pristiq, what dose do you take?

Hi, chpianist!
This dosage is from the Drugs.com literature:
"Usual Adult Dose for Depression
50 mg orally once a day, with or without food
Maximum dose: 400 mg/day"
Hope this helps!
Thanks. I knew that was the range but was hoping to get a sense of the average dose taken.
