Sir, you will need to contact a psychiatrist in person with all your past treatment records. In my opinion desvenlafaxine may be a better choice for you, if you are responding to it.

It may be changed by the psychiatrist based on symptom profile. Both are good medications only. Follow your psychiatrist advise. Good luck.
