Q: What are the risks when taking Pristiq and buspirone together to treat both anxiety and depression, and is there a fairly high success rate using this combination?
Hi there
This is one of those questions which is best answered by your doctor or even your pharmacist. We can give you information on each of these medications individually but there really is little information about combining medications. Is this the drug combo recommended to you by your doctor?
I have written a post about taking multiple medications to treat anxiety and depression.
There are some links at the bottom of that post for sites that have drug interaction tools.
Sorry we could not be of more help to you.
