Pdoc wants me to switch from Celexa to Pristiq

[[ro...]]

I had been taking citalopram for about 6 years before a reaction lead me to discontinue it and I ended up on benzos.  I was gradually able to reinstate citalopram while going off of benzos.  I'm at over 6 weeks off and am still experiencing terrible anxiety, akethisia and agorophobia.  My pdoc wants me to switch from

Celexa to Pristiq with almost no cross-over.  Any thoughts?

I haven't taken Pristiq (I think it's an SNRI), but I am on Paxil (an SSRI) and it certainly has helped with sleep and anxiety.

 

Sincerely,
