Is Prestiq a sulfur based drug?
I have been on Prestiq for a week and noticed a difference in stabilization of mood but have had sensitive skin and a mild rash. I am taking other prescribed drugs and know that I'm allergic to sulfur based drugs. Thank you

I have just discovered I am allergic to corn and all of their by products. Is there any medication for depression that doesn't have corn starch in it.

The only natural anti-depressant that has no corn starch is St John's Wort (Hypericum). You need to check with your doctor if it conflicts with your medication (if you are taking any) or any other health condition before you try it. Not to be used with MAOI-type anti-depressants especially, but also not with any other anti-depressants.

As to a prescription medication without these ingredients, you will really need to consult with your doctor and a pharmacist.

Since these are inactive ingredients, they can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, there is a broad range of fillers they are allowed to use, so not all companies use the same ones.

A pill from one company might contain something you are allergic to, but the same medication from a different manufacturer might not.

As to the sulfur question, if it contained sulfur, they would have to warn about that in the medication labeling, because of the seriousness of sulfur allergies.

The active ingredient in Pristique is Desvenlaxafine Succinate and it is primarily used as an antidepressant.

Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

If there any other information I can help you with?
