| 1 | Depression ,ocd, anxiety | Nausea, diarrhea ,bad head spinning, suicidal thoughts , feeling of "disperation" and "being lost" accompanied by crying. Weird dreams. | Made me aggressive and angry with the world. | F | 20 | 1 months 10 mg -5mg | 7/28/2016 | 1 | Depression gad ocd | Dizziness the first few days started at ten mg. Seemed to work for about ten days then it didn't so I upped to 15 mg made me extremely tired so started taking it at night. Took it at 20 mg for one week with constipation being unbearable so quit cold turkey like they advertise you can do. Took nothing for 2 days than started back on my go to Wellbutrin sr ten days on it now and the transition was worse then tapering Effexor. | F | 38 | 5 weeks 20 mg | 7/20/2016 | 4 | OCD | Nausea and upset stomach especially when I take it without food. | It has helped me with my anxiety. I was on lexapro for almost 2 years and I got really fat...from 49 KGS to 69 kgs in less than 2 years. My doctor switched my meds and my weight has plateaud though I am still not losing weight. Aside from the side effects, Brintellix has worked well for me so far. | F | 28 | 5 months 10 mg | 7/18/2016 | 5 | OCD, general anxiety disorder, MDD | None!! | Miracle drug for me. Halfway through the first day of taking it, I stopped and realized that I hadn't really worried about anything that day. The same feeling continues today! I can think more clearly on this drug as well! | F | 27 | 1 months 10mg 1X day | 8/1/2015 | 3 | Anxiety & Mild OCD | No weight gain like with Lexapro, however, I don't have the calm, level feeling I had with Lexapro. I still have OCD "checking" of locks, stove knobs, kids breathing while asleep at night, whereas with Lexapro it was minimal. Due to $70 per month copay with our insurance I stopped cold turkey 4 days ago and haven't noticed any side effects. When I got off Lexapro I weaned myself off VERY slowly but still felt like a walking explosion waiting to happen. I have had NO itching like others commented. Sleep normally at night. | F | 43 | 7 months 20mg | 2/3/2015 | 2 | Anxiety/OCD | Nausea for about 1 hour after taking it and heartburn/indigestion all day. Nausea stopped after about 1 week. The heartburn/indigestion continued. | I really wanted this to work well for me. I have been through so many different medications that gave me terrible side effects. After the first week, the only side effect I had was heartburn/indigestion. It was very tolerable. Unfortunately, it didn't help my anxiety and OCD at all. I was actually worse after 6 weeks. I did not try to increase the dose because I didn't want the heartburn to get worse. Brintellix is not actually indicated for Anxiety and OCD but considering it is an SSRI I figured it would still work. | F | 37 | 6 weeks 10 MG 1X day | 6/9/2014 |
