We cannot offer prescription medicines through this platform.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

You can try taking naproxen 500 (OTC) one or two tablets together as needed and see if it helps. Pristiq (Desvenlafaxine Extended-Release Tablets) on the other hand is a prescription medicine and you would be able to get it after your psychiatrist writes it down for you.
