What Is Desvenlafaxine And What Does It Treat?
Desvenlafaxine is an antidepressant medication that works in the brain. It is approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD).
Symptoms of depression include:
- Depressed mood - feeling sad, empty, or tearful
- Feeling worthless, guilty, hopeless, and helpless
- Loss of interest or pleasure in your usual activities
- Sleep and eat more or less than usual (for most people it is less)
- Low energy, trouble concentrating, or thoughts of death (suicidal thinking)
- Psychomotor agitation (‘nervous energy’)
- Psychomotor retardation (feeling like you are moving and thinking in slow motion)
- Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
What Is The Most Important Information I Should Know About Desvenlafaxine?
Do not stop taking desvenlafaxine, even when you feel better. With input from you, your health care provider will assess how long you will need to take the medicine.
Missing doses of desvenlafaxine may increase your risk for relapse in your symptoms.
Stopping desvenlafaxine abruptly may result in one or more of the following withdrawal symptoms: irritability, nausea, feeling dizzy, vomiting, nightmares, headache, and/or paresthesias (prickling, tingling sensation on the skin).
Depression is also a part of bipolar illness. People with bipolar disorder who take antidepressants may be at risk for "switching" from depression into mania. Symptoms of mania include "high" or irritable mood, very high self-esteem, decreased need for sleep, pressure to keep talking, racing thoughts, being easily distracted, frequently involved in activities with a large risk for bad consequences (for example, excessive buying sprees).
Medical attention should be sought if serotonin syndrome is suspected. Please refer to serious side effects for signs/symptoms.
Are There Specific Concerns About Desvenlafaxine And Pregnancy?
If you are planning on becoming pregnant, notify your health care provider to best manage your medications. People living with MDD who wish to become pregnant face important decisions. Untreated MDD has risks to the fetus, as well as the mother. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor and caregivers. For women who take antidepressant medications during weeks 13 through the end of their pregnancy (second and third trimesters), there is a risk that the baby can be born before it is fully developed (before 37 weeks).
Caution is advised with breastfeeding since desvenlafaxine does pass into breast milk.
What Should I Discuss With My Health Care Provider Before Taking Desvenlafaxine?
- Symptoms of your condition that bother you the most
- If you have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself
- Medications you have taken in the past for your condition, whether they were effective or caused any adverse effects
- If you experience side effects from your medications, discuss them with your provider.
Some side effects may pass with time, but others may require changes in the medication. - Any other psychiatric or medical problems you have, including a history of bipolar disorder
- All other medications you are currently taking (including over the counter products, herbal and nutritional supplements) and any medication allergies you have
- Other non-medication treatment you are receiving, such as talk therapy or substance abuse treatment. Your provider can explain how these different treatments work with the medication.
- If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding
- If you drink alcohol or use drugs
How Should I Take Desvenlafaxine?
Desvenlafaxine is usually taken one time per day with or without food.
Typically patients begin at a low dose of medicine and the dose is increased slowly over several weeks.
The dose usually ranges from 50 mg to 400 mg. Only your healthcare provider can determine the correct dose for you.
The tablets should be swallowed whole. They should not be chewed, crushed, or broken.
If you are taking desvenlafaxine, you should not take other medications that include venlafaxine (Effexor®).
Consider using a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take your medication. You may also ask a family member or a friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are taking your medication.
What Happens If I Miss A Dose of Desvenlafaxine?
If you miss a dose of desvenlafaxine take it as soon as you remember, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. Discuss this with your health care provider. Do not double your next dose or take more than what is prescribed.
What Should I Avoid While Taking Desvenlafaxine?
Avoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while you are taking antidepressant medications. They may decrease the benefits (e.g., worsen your condition) and increase adverse effects (e.g.
, sedation) of the medication.
What Happens If I Overdose With Desvenlafaxine?
If an overdose occurs, call your doctor or 911. You may need urgent medical care. You may also contact the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
A specific treatment to reverse the effects of desvenlafaxine does not exist.
What Are The Possible Side Effects of Desvenlafaxine?
Common side effects
Headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, dry mouth, increased sweating, decreased appetite, tremor, feeling nervous, restless, fatigue, or having trouble sleeping (insomnia). These will often improve over the first week or two as you continue to take the medication.
Sexual side effects, such as problems with orgasm or ejaculatory delay, and blood pressure increases often do not improve over time.
Rare/serious side effects
Increased heart rate, low blood pressure, increased salivation, irregular menstrual cycle, increased frequency of urination, changes in taste, increased liver enzymes, low sodium (symptoms of low sodium levels may include headache, weakness, difficulty concentrating and remembering), teeth grinding, difficulty urinating, angle closure glaucoma (symptoms of angle closure glaucoma may include eye pain, changes in vision, swelling or redness in or around eye), serotonin syndrome (symptoms may include shivering, diarrhea, confusion, severe muscle tightness, fever, seizures, and death), hypertensive crisis (severely elevated blood pressure), myocardial infarction (heart attack), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (rash)
Are There Any Risks For Taking Desvenlafaxine For Long Periods Of Time?
To date, there are no known problems associated with long term use of desvenlafaxine.
It is a safe and effective medication when used as directed.
What Other Medications May Interact With Desvenlafaxine?
Desvenlafaxine should not be taken with or within 2 weeks of taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). These include phenelzine (Nardil®), tranylcypromine (Parnate®), isocarboxazid (Marplan®), rasagiline (Azilect®), and selegiline (Emsam®).
Although rare, there is an increased risk of serotonin syndrome when desvenlafaxine is used with other medications that increase serotonin, such as other antidepressants, migraine medications called “triptans” (e.g., Imitrex®), some pain medications (e.g., tramadol (Ultram®), the antibiotic linezolid (Zyvox®), and amphetamines.
The following medication may increase the levels and effects of desvenlafaxine: ketoconazole (Nizoral®).
Desvenlafaxine may increase the effects of other medications that can cause bleeding (e.g., ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®), warfarin (Coumadin®) and aspirin).
How Long Does It Take For Desvenlafaxine To Work?
Sleep, energy, or appetite may show some improvement within the first 1-2 weeks. Improvement in these physical symptoms can be an important early signal that the medication is working. Depressed mood and lack of interest in activities may need up to 6-8 weeks to fully improve.
Summary of FDA Black Box Warnings
Suicidal thoughts or actions in children and adults
Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), both adult and pediatric, may experience worsening of their depression and/or the emergence of suicidal ideation and behavior (suicidality) or unusual changes in behavior, whether or not they are taking antidepressant medications. This risk may persist until significant remission occurs.
In short-term studies, antidepressants increased the risk of suicidality in children, adolescents, and young adults when compared to placebo.
Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24. Adults age 65 and older taking antidepressants have a decreased risk of suicidality. Patients, their families, and caregivers should be alert to the emergence of anxiety, restlessness, irritability, aggressiveness and insomnia. If these symptoms emerge, they should be reported to the patient’s prescriber or health care professional. All patients being treated with antidepressants for any indication should watch for and notify their health care provider for worsening symptoms, suicidality and unusual changes in behavior, especially during the first few months of treatment.

Consumer Medicine Information
What is in this leaflet
This leaflet answers some common questions about Pristiq.
It does not contain all the available information. It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist or asking questions.
All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you taking Pristiq against the expected benefits it will have for you.
If you have any questions about Pristiq, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Keep this leaflet with your Pristiq tablets. You may need to read it again.
What Pristiq is used for
What it doesPristiq is used in the treatment and prevention of relapse of depression.
Depression can affect your whole body and may cause emotional and physical symptoms such as feeling low in spirit, being unable to enjoy life, poor appetite or overeating, disturbed sleep, loss of sex drive, lack of energy and feeling guilty over nothing.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Pristiq has been prescribed for you. Your doctor may have prescribed it for another reason.
Pristiq contains the active ingredient called desvenlafaxine succinate. It belongs to a class of medications called Serotonin-Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs).
Serotonin and noradrenaline are chemical messengers that allow certain nerves in the brain to work. Pristiq tablets increase the level of these two messengers. Experts think this is how it helps to restore your feeling of wellness.
Pristiq is not addictive.
It is available only with a doctor's prescription.
Use in ChildrenThe safety and effectiveness of Pristiq in children or adolescents under 18 years of age have not been established.
Before you take Pristiq
When you must not take itDo not take Pristiq if you are taking other medications for depression known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors, even if you have stopped taking them, but have taken them within the last 14 days.
Do not take Pristiq if you are allergic to desvenlafaxine, venlafaxine or to any of the ingredients listed at the end of this leaflet.
Symptoms of an allergic reaction include:
- Skin rash
- Itching or hives on the skin
- Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, throat or other parts of the body
- Shortness of breath, wheezing, troubled breathing or difficulty swallowing.
Do not take this medicine after the expiry date (EXP) printed on the pack, or if the packaging is torn or shows signs of tampering. If it has expired or is damaged, return it to your pharmacist for disposal.
If you are not sure whether you should start taking this medicine, talk to your doctor.
Before you start to take itTell your doctor or pharmacist if you have allergies to any other medicines, foods, preservatives or dyes.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant or intend to become pregnant. Pristiq is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of taking Pristiq if you are pregnant.
One of these risks is that newborn babies whose mothers have been taking Pristiq may have several problems including breathing difficulties, rapid breathing, seizures, lack of oxygen in their blood, physical and / or behavioural problems, vomiting and diarrhoea.
If you take Pristiq or similar anti-depressants mid to late in your pregnancy, you may develop a condition known as "pre-eclampsia", which is characterised by persistent high-blood pressure during or after pregnancy. Symptoms of pre-eclampsia can include headaches, abdominal pain, shortness of breath or burning behind the sternum, nausea and vomiting, confusion, heightened state of anxiety, and/or visual disturbances such as oversensitivity to light, blurred vision, or seeing flashing spots or auras.
If you take Pristiq or similar antidepressants in the last month of your pregnancy, you may experience heavy bleeding during and/or after delivery.
Continuing treatment with Pristiq or similar antidepressants during pregnancy should be strictly as directed by your doctor.
Symptoms of a relapse may occur if treatment is discontinued, even if major depression was previously under control.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed. Pristiq passes into breast milk and there is a possibility that the breast-fed baby may be affected. For this reason, the use of Pristiq is not recommended in breast-feeding women.

How to take Pristiq
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor or pharmacist carefully. They may
differ from the information contained in this leaflet.
If you do not understand the instructions on the box, ask your doctor or pharmacist for help.
How to take itSwallow the tablets whole with a glass of water or other non-alcoholic liquid.
Do not divide, crush, chew or place the tablets in water.
Do not be concerned if you see a tablet 'shell' in your faeces after taking Pristiq.
As the tablet travels the length of your gastrointestinal tract, the active ingredient desvenlafaxine is slowly released. The tablet 'shell' remains undissolved and is eliminated in your faeces. Therefore, even though, you may see a tablet 'shell' in your faeces, your dose of desvenlafaxine has been absorbed.
The usual dose is 50 mg taken once daily with or without food.
Do not change your dose unless your doctor tells you to. Your doctor will gradually increase your dose if needed.
If you have kidney problems, you may need a lower dose of Pristiq.
When to take itTake Pristiq at approximately the same time each day. This could be either in the morning or in the evening.
Taking it at the same time each day will have the best effect. It will also help you remember when to take it.
How long to take itContinue taking your medicine for as long as your doctor tells you.
Although you may begin to feel better after two weeks, it may take several weeks before you feel much better.
It is important to give Pristiq time to work.
This medicine helps to control your condition, so it is important to keep taking your medicine even if you feel well.
If you forget to take itIf it is less than 12 hours until your next dose, skip the dose you missed and then take your next dose when you are meant to. Otherwise, take it as soon as you remember, and then go back to taking as you would normally.
Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose you missed. This may increase the chance of you getting an unwanted side effect.
If you are not sure what to do, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
If you have trouble remembering when to take your medicine, ask your pharmacist for some hints.
If you take too much (overdose)Immediately telephone your doctor or the Poisons Information Centre (telephone: 13 11 26) for advice, or go to Accident and Emergency at your nearest hospital if you think that you or anyone else may have taken too much Pristiq.
Do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning. You may need urgent medical attention.
Keep the telephone number for these places handy whilst taking any medications.
While you are taking Pristiq
Things you must doVisit your doctor regularly for a check up so that your progress can be checked. Always discuss any questions you have about Pristiq with your doctor.
Take Pristiq tablets as your doctor has prescribed.
Tell any other doctors, dentists and pharmacists who treat you that you are taking this medicine.
Keep enough Pristiq tablets to last weekends and holidays. This medicine helps to control your condition, but does not cure it. It is important to keep taking your medicine even if you feel well.
Watch carefully for signs that your depression is getting worse, especially in the first few weeks of treatment or if your dose has changed. Sometimes people with depression can experience a worsening of their depressive symptoms. This can happen even when taking an antidepressant.

Things you must not doDo not stop taking Pristiq or change the dose without the advice of your doctor, even if you feel better.
Your doctor may want to slowly decrease your dose of Pristiq to help avoid side effects. Side effects are known to occur when people stop taking Pristiq, especially when they suddenly stop therapy.
Some of these side effects include:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Tiredness
- Irritability
- Anxiety

Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking Pristiq.
Do not give this medicine to anyone else even if they have the same condition as you.

pristics and cocaine
Cocaine
Cocaine, full name, methyl (1R,2R,3S,5S)-3-(benzoyloxy)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.
2.1] octane-2-carboxylate . It's a little tricky, so most people just call it a series of slang names: Snow, powder, line, icing, Blanca, flake, pearl, and all the other street names that might confuse the uninitiated user a bit.
Can pristiq and cocaine be mixed?
Before we continue talking about pristics and cocaine, denial : The World's Best Rehab Blog aims to improve the quality of life for people struggling with addiction and mental health issues. We use fact-based content and publish material that is researched, cited, edited and reviewed by professionals. The information we publish is not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. It should not be used as a substitute for the advice of your doctor or other qualified health care provider.
To be honest, we don't recommend mixing a pristik with cocaine. pristiq does nothing to enhance the effects of cocaine and can cause serious complications that will really ruin your evening.
For example, death, which is always a risk when using cocaine or when mixing cocaine and pristics.
In 19440, there were 2020 deaths in the US from cocaine alone. There are serious dangers associated with this drug, and even more so when mixing it with any other drug is considered.
When mixed with pristiq, cocaine can interfere with the body's ability to maintain the correct temperature and heart function. Indeed, it can also be caused by taking large amounts of cocaine without mixing it with a pristiq. Users sometimes experience dangerous changes in heart rate and function that can lead to liver, kidney or heart failure, or even (as we said earlier) death.
Effects of mixing pristiq and cocaine
Even taking cocaine without pristics has a negative effect on the heart, and taking pristics with it increases the risk exponentially. Although common, combining cocaine and pristics together or even hours apart can be extremely risky as it increases heart rate and blood pressure, further increasing the risk of a heart attack.
Cocaine and pristics also react inside the liver to form a chemical known as cocaethylene, which is toxic to the heart, liver, and other organs. This can also happen even if cocaine and pristiq are used separately for several days in a row. Mixing cocaine with a pristiq will cause great harm to your heart, liver, and other organs. Cocaine and alcohol are a dangerous combination and are extremely dangerous for your blood pressure and heart rate. Taking cocaine and pristics actually increases the risk of a heart attack.
Why people mix cocaine and pristiq
Some cocaine addicts say it's better to mix cocaine and pristiq because they think it helps improve the overall psychoactive experience. This is not entirely true. When cocaine and pristiq are mixed, the interaction "tricks" the brain into taking an increased amount of cocaine, pristics, or both at the same time. The brain appears to develop greater tolerance for both drugs, causing users to consume more.
Interestingly, there is a limited amount of dopamine and serotonin in the brain. It's a limited supply, and mixing cocaine and pristics depletes those feel-good chemicals. Once these chemicals are depleted, the user often takes even more of both, which can only lead to further organ damage, respiratory distress, cardiac arrest, and often death.
Dangers of using pristiq to help you quit cocaine
Because cocaine is a stimulant, people use another substance, such as pristics, to help their body adjust after the effects of cocaine begin to wear off. During this stage, the body enters a phase of detoxification, and the risk of organ failure and death during this stage is just as great. It is never recommended to mix pristiq with cocaine to relieve the condition.
pristiq and cocaine Polydrug addiction is a way to counter the adverse side effects of major drugs.
Polydrug addiction seeks to balance the effects of cocaine by adding a pristiq.
Unfortunately, this is very dangerous and increases the risk of a fatal overdose.
Effects of mixing pristiq and cocaine
The risk associated with mixing pristiq and cocaine causes cocaethylene to enter the bloodstream and harm the health of the individual, especially their tissues and organs, causing a euphoric effect as cocaine stimulates the brain.
Regular polydosing of pristiq and cocaine can lead to sudden death, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, respiratory failure, damage to brain tissue, ulcers, heart attacks, fever, strokes, bleeding in the brain, which causes aneurysms and damage to the liver. Polydrug addiction combining pristiq and cocaine can also have psychological consequences, such as mental health.
Side effects of mixing pristiq and cocaine will require immediate medical attention. Procedures may include intubation to facilitate breathing, gastric aspiration to remove materials from the stomach, intravenous fluids to hydrate and restore normal body temperature, and to prevent further complications.
The National Institute and Substance Abuse of America Centers recommend that detox and subsequent addiction treatment for cocaine and pristix dual diagnosis be done under the supervision of a physician in a professional facility to help manage withdrawal symptoms and prevent relapse.

Pristiq and Cocaine Interactions
If you're looking for an interaction between pristiq and cocaine, remember that with cocaine there's really no way to tell what it's been diluted with or mixed with. Pure cocaine, that is, it does not contain other substances, is not a safe drug.
Cocaine on its own, and even without a pristiq, can have the same effects as other stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines. A person who uses cocaine may experience increased heart rate and blood pressure, muscle tension, involuntary clenching of teeth, nausea, blurred vision, weakness, chills, or sweating.
Since cocaine is not pure, you are not aware of the interaction with pristiq in your body.
Cocaine can be mixed with other substances just like any other drug. Supposedly "pure" cocaine could contain ephedrine (a stimulant), dextromethorphan (a cough suppressant), ketamine, caffeine, cocaine, methamphetamine, or even bath salts. The fact that it comes in the form of crystals or powder does not prove its purity. In this case, it is impossible to accurately predict the effect of mixing pristics and cocaine in your body. Indeed, the chemical reactions of cocaine and pristic in your body can be completely different than someone else taking exactly the same amount of pristic and cocaine due to individual physiology.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a significant percentage of cocaine samples contain some level of impurities. So, it's not just the effects of mixing pristics and cocaine. We are talking about mixing cocaine, pristics and everything else that is used as a diluent.
Common things used to cut cocaine
- Paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA) or MDEA
- Aspirin
- Caffeine
- Methamphetamine or amphetamine
- MDMA
- Bath salts, including preparations such as mephedrone
- butylone
- Ketamine
- LSD
Unfortunately, the DEA also reported that “over 80 different unique substances were sold as cocaine. Many drugs sold as cocaine do not contain cocaine at all.” What worries you, in any case, you decide to look at it.
pristiq and cocaine and fentanyl
What the above list of cutting agents does not reveal is probably the most agonizing thing that has come up in the last few years. This is the widespread and unqualified use of fentanyl as a cutting agent for cocaine and other drugs. Many people now use cocaine recreationally. It's illegal. And most people are informed enough to balance the risk (both prosecution and health) of taking cocaine and mixing cocaine with a pristiq.
What most people don't bargain for is getting a huge lethal dose of fentanyl, thinking it's cocaine. Completely wrong. An unacceptable behavior in the eyes of many, but a seemingly acceptable practice for those involved in the sale and production of cocaine. When we add fentanyl to the cocaine mix and then {Fuldrug}, the chances of a massive myocardial infarction... a heart attack goes up dramatically.
Is cocaine not safe?
Cocaine is responsible for literally hundreds and thousands of deaths around the world of people from all walks of life.
No drug is "safe". Such is the nature of drugs! If they can be 100% avoided, then great. If not. Stay up to date with all the facts and interactions between drugs. Mixing drugs is not something to be taken lightly, if you are taking Pristiq and also use alcohol, MDMA or weed, you can explore the effects here. The effects of Pristiq and Weed or the effects of Pristiq and alcohol, Pristiq and MDMA.
Pristiq
Cocaine
Cocaine South America. Erythroxylum coca and Erythroxylum Novogranatense . After being extracted from coca leaves and further processed into cocaine hydrochloride (cocaine powder), the drug can be inhaled, heated to sublimation, and then inhaled or dissolved and injected into a vein. Cocaine stimulates the reward pathway in the brain. Mental effects may include intense feelings of happiness, sexual arousal, loss of contact with reality, or arousal. Physical effects may include increased heart rate, sweating, and dilated pupils.
High doses may lead to high blood pressure or high body temperature. Effects begin within seconds or minutes of use and last five to ninety minutes. Since cocaine also causes numbness and constricts blood vessels, it is sometimes used during operations on the throat or inside the nose to relieve pain, bleeding, and spasm of the vocal cords.
Cocaine crosses the blood-brain barrier via the proton-bound organic cation antiporter and (to a lesser extent) via passive diffusion across cell membranes. Cocaine blocks the dopamine transporter by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine from the synaptic cleft into the presynaptic terminal of the axon; higher levels of dopamine in the synaptic cleft increase the activation of dopamine receptors in postsynaptic neurons, causes euphoria and arousal. Cocaine also blocks the serotonin and norepinephrine transporter by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine from the synaptic cleft to the presynaptic end of the axon and by increasing the activation of serotonin and norepinephrine receptors in postsynaptic neurons, promoting mental and physical effects.
the effects of cocaine.
One dose of cocaine induces tolerance to the effects of the drug. Repeated use can lead to cocaine addiction. Cocaine abstainers experience cocaine cravings and withdrawal symptoms, accompanied by depression, decreased libido, decreased ability to experience pleasure, and fatigue. Cocaine use increases the overall risk of death, and intravenous use especially increases the risk of injury and infectious diseases such as blood infections and HIV. It also increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, cardiac arrhythmia, lung damage (from smoking), and sudden cardiac death. Illicitly traded cocaine is commonly adulterated with local anesthetics, levamisole, cornstarch, quinine, or sugar, which can lead to additional toxicity. In 2017, the Global Burden of Disease study found that cocaine use causes about 7,300 deaths worldwide every year.
Pristiq and cocaine overdose effects
According to the most recent data, about 119,000 people in the United States alone are treated for cocaine-related problems in emergency departments.
In addition, one study found that 19,458 people died from cocaine in 2020.
But the answer to the question "Can you overdose on cocaine?" The answer is yes, but it's not exactly easy. Although it is possible to die as a result of cocaine use, death from this drug is a direct result of overuse as well as side effects. And when Pristic and Cocaine are mixed, these side effects can quickly increase exponentially.
According to medical experts, direct death from cocaine use is usually associated with heart attacks. Cocaine interferes with the body's ability to regulate the heart, and pristiq further interferes with this process. people at increased risk:
- Dehydration
- Palpitation or slowness
- Heart failure
- Cerebral edema
- Muscle disorder
- Electrolyte imbalance
- Violation of the organ
Pristiq and cocaine for emergencies
Many cocaine "overdoses" are the direct result of additives in the pills themselves, such as the fentanyl we talked about earlier.
When cocaine users arrive at a hospital or rehabilitation center, doctors and staff do not immediately know what percentage of the drug they ingested was cocaine and not other additives, or what other substances (legal or illegal) were ingested, i.e. and cocaine. This requires a blood toxicology test, and while the results are pending, medical professionals will do their best to treat urgent problems such as heart failure or seizures. 1 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3931692/.
Once the patient has stabilized, there is a good chance of a full recovery. However, cases of cocaine overdose can be fatal, especially when using fentanyl and other very dangerous cutting agents.
If you've used cocaine and find it hard to quit, it's probably time to get help. Don't risk overdosing or developing a chronic addiction.
If you use pristics and also use alcohol, smoke weed, or take MDMA, you can investigate the effects of pristics and alcohol as well as signal pristics and weed and pristics and MDMA

Tips: What is the best way to fail the exam??
1. Take the exam task and jump out of the audience with a cry: "Andryukha, I got a secret document!" 2. Bring with you cheat sheets on another subject (on a completely different subject, such as cheat sheets on history for a math exam, otherwise you will not just fail the exam, but generally fly out of the institute) and pin them to the assignment with a postscript: "See the attachments for what you need. 3. When you receive an assignment, review it, laugh out loud, and say, "Are you seriously wanting me to waste my time on this nonsense?" 4. Come to the exam drunk in the smoke ("drunk in the smoke" means that at some point in the exam you will start to breathe heavily and mutter: "Right now you will throw up")! 5. Take the task. Twenty minutes later, angrily throw the sheet on the floor, yell: "Fuck it!" - and proudly retire 7. Do not be silent during the entire exam. Read the questions aloud and discuss them with yourself. If asked to shut up, shout: "Damn, do you hear what I'm thinking?!" Then start talking loudly, what an examiner is a goat! 8. Tip for drulks: "Take your pet scorpion, snake, frog or cat with you." Friends will always help!!! 9. Enter the classroom, take the task, sit down at the desk. 10. A quarter of an hour after the start of the exam, get up, tear the exam task into small pieces and throw them into the air shouting: "Happy New Year!" one task. Motivate this by the fact that you lost the first. Repeat every 15 minutes. 11. After receiving the task, eat it. 12. Come to the exam in beach slippers (buy them from cats!). Don't wear anything else... 13. Bring along a huge, terribly ugly idol. Put it next to him and pray to him more often. You can even make a small sacrifice ... (use the "blood flow" skill!). 14. Write backwards and at a 90 degree angle. The rest later... for those who are interested...
How to pass the exam?
Notebook American students are thought to be dumb, law-abiding, etc. Stanford. Written exam, 200 people. Time is coming to an end, the lecturer loudly announces this. One guy sits, does not react, continues to write. The lecturer repeats again, addressing this guy personally. Zero attention. In the end, the lecturer says that he will not accept the work, and calmly leaves. An hour and a half later (!) the guy comes to the lecturer's office. Please accept my work. Well, that one to him, of course, something like "Are you crazy??" To which the guy calmly reacts like this: "Do you even know who I am?!" Lecturer, completely gone nuts: "I don't know, and I don't want to know!" - "That's great," says the student and puts his work into a thick stack of outwardly indistinguishable notebooks on the lecturer's desk... hee hee!

After five minutes, loudly say to the examiner, "I don't understand anything. I've been going to lectures all semester. What the hell? Who are you anyway? Where's our teacher?" 
On the whole, this is true. But even among them there are worthy specimens.
