Updated January 27, 2010

I've been on Pristiq, 50mg, daily for almost two months. I have a history of atrial fibrillation. Is there any danger of Prestiq causing my heart to go into A-Fib? (So far, it hasn't.)....Bob

Pristiq contains the active ingredient Desvenlafaxine, it is an SNRI antidepressant.

I am not finding any warnings about this listed, but this site is not medical professionals, so you should ask your doctor or pharmacist to be certain.
