| 3 | Anxiety/depression/obsessive though | No sexual side effects. Restless and hard to sleep. | It helped me with my depression. Seemed to give me energy and motivation. However, I just felt restless and didn't sleep well while taking it. Did not help my anxiety, although it did improve my mood. I would recommend trying it for depression especially if you want something without sexual side effects. | M | 41 | 28 days 5 | 6/7/2021 | 3 | MDD | First three weeks fine. Then itchiness, extreme bloating and feeling more anxious and confused. | Very expensive. | F | 62 | 60 days 10 1X day | 5/21/2021 | 1 | Depression | Extreme nausea when dose increased from 5 to 10mg. Anxiety, itching, dizziness several times a day, increased migraine episodes after 4 month taking brintellix and no improvement at all in my situation. I feel my head is always confuse, experienced several panic attacks and I fear the future. Weight gain was also a side effect after 3 month treatment. | I must quit this drug ASAP | F | 45 | 5 months 10mg 1X day | 5/5/2021 | 1 | Major Depression | Irritability, leg pain, suicidal thoughts, weird and sometimes disturbing dreams. | At first it seemed like a miracle. Suicidal ideation I'd been having disappeared within several hours of first dose, I was thinking more clearly and for 3 days was floating with happiness. Then, with no change in dose, I experienced worsened depression, anger and irritability and more severe suicidal ideation than before I started. Cutting down to 5mg did not alleviate the negative side effects. I've gone back to Cipramil (Celexa) which I went off to try Trintellix. It could be a wonder drug for some, but it was a nightmare for me after a promising start. On the plus it seemed relatively easy to stop ie no SSRI withdrawal syndrome. | F | 53 | 2 weeks 10mg 1X day | 4/13/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | Insomnia , bloating ,gas ,lack of appetite weird tingly sensation Abnormal dreams, sexual dysfunction | It's an absolute nightmare to withdraw off | M | 47 | 34 days 5mg 1X day | 2/16/2021 | 3 | MDD and GAD | Nausea, dizziness, extreme tiredness in the evenings, itchiness | Helped my mood, motivation and mental clarity in the morning. The fatigue later in the day is a big problem however- need o get it addressed. | F | 45 | 2 months 15 1X day | 2/6/2021 | 4 | Depression | Itching some bad dreams | reasonable for me although still some flashbacks of traumatic incident | M | 58 | 2 years 15 1X day | 11/27/2020 | 4 | Mild anxiety and depression | No side effects at all. | Felt better, less anxious, more focused and generally happier and in a better mood. | M | 46 | 1 years 15mg 1X day | 11/11/2020 | 1 | Depression | Fatigue - bad dreams - diarriea - Anxiety -mood more depressed | Started taking brintellex 5 mg for the first one week. Then continued 3 weeks with 10mg . I feel more depressed with fatigue all day and dizziness . Had many bad dreams non stop while sleeping . I am deciding to stop this medication after seeing my doctor . I don't recommend brintellex | F | 45 | 1 months 15mg 1X day | 11/5/2020 | 5 | anxiety, severe panic attacs | when i first start taking it a bit of weight gain and sexual disfunction(not severe like with SSRI) managable. now i take it with 300 wellbutrin and i have incrased libido, no weight gain for now . great combo! | M | 27 | 35 days 5mg 1X day | 10/27/2020 | 5 | Generalized anxiety disorder | Mild nausea initially and some emotional blunting and reduced cognition at higher doses which resolved with lowering the dose. | Very fast onset of effect. By far the best tolerated antidepressant I tried. | M | 67 | 5mg 1X day | 10/20/2020 | 5 | depression | its amazing i feel good vibes and not depressed after 10 years the only thing is that anxiety still but depression gone away | its very good i tried all | M | 33 | 1 years 20 1X day | 9/22/2020 | 4 | Panic disorder | No side effects | Having been on Clomipramine for many years I was fed up of weight gain and loss of sex drive. Dr switched me to Brintellix and it is equally good at controlling panic disorder but without the horrible side effects. Fairly new so long term will be interesting. | M | 53 | 6 months 10mg 1X day | 8/24/2020 | 4 | Major Depressive disorder | GERD and Rumination of food. | Works a lot better than Prozac for me. The bone pains side effects I used to get from Fluoxetine are almost inexistent. Bit higher on Price though. | M | 23 | 27 days 10 Mg 2X day | 7/13/2020 | 5 | Depression and Anxiety | Sweating, low appetite, mild increased anxiety at night. | I have read tons of reviews on this medication as I have been on Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Buspar and Klonopin. I have experienced no weight gain, no sexual side effects whatsoever which is why I to write this review. This is the best anti-depressant I have ever taken. I take in the morning at 6:30 am with a little food because I have read many reviews with nausea as I side effect which I have not experienced. So far so good. If things change, I will repost to update changes. | F | 44 | 2 months 10MG | 5/25/2020 | 5 | Depression | None | M | 44 | 40 days 5mg | 5/20/2020 | 3 | Depression | Anxiety when increasing from 10mg to 15mg | Got me out of deep depression. Still depressed but can function more normally and no more crying breakdowns for no reason. At first my concentration felt improved. | F | 36 | 6 months 15mg | 5/10/2020 | 4 | GAD | Lower libido trouble sleeping at night, weight gain | Drug helped but i hope that side effects will dissapear. I was on cymbalta and ssri till now! | M | 27 | 2 months 15 | 4/28/2020 | 5 | Depression & Anxiety | Very pleased with medication. Like other comments it worked as well as any other med but without the side effects. Amazed. | Very very pleased. Seems it either really works for you or is not well tolerated at all. I am truly a fan. | M | 63 | 4 years 10 1X day | 2/2/2020 | 4 | Depression and anxiety | Some fatigue and dizziness. Fatigue bothers me more than dizziness, but not enough to significantly impact my quality of life. Hallelujah! No weight gain. | I take 10 mg Trintellix every other evening. It has taken the edge off my anxiety and I don’t think about suicide any more. Recognize that it will not cure depression. Still need talk therapy to deal with underlying causes of depression and anxiety. | F | 57 | 7 months 10 mg 1X O | 1/20/2020 |
