first pristiq and paxil are medications in two different drug classes. if you are taking paxil i would ask if this medication is controlling your symptoms. if not pristiq might be a better choice. some insurance companies might cover pristiq if previous therapies are not controlling your symptoms. there is no generic available for pristiq; however paxil is available in a generic version paroxetine. you can contact your insurance company to see if they cover pristiq. if not they can provide you with a list of medications they cover so that your health care provider can prescribe the right medication for your condition. if you have no insurance contact the partnership for prescription assistance at www. pparx. org or by calling 888-477-2669.
