 3  Depression None? I've been on this medication for 3 weeks and have had none of the stomach issues that everyone talks about. I also however do not feel that it's had any effect on my depression. The only thing I have noticed is that I am suddenly RIDICULOUSLY hungry. I promised my doctor I would give this pill a full 8 weeks to work but I might weigh 500 lbs by that time! Do I give it more time? F 44 3 weeks

 5  GAD / Depression Headache, nausea, jaw clenching, dizziness. All temporary. Those who report after a few days, or couple of weeks on this drug are not giving it the slightest try. I had a really bad time the first couple of weeks. Luckily my MD warned me of this and told me to push through, and so I did. I've been on Cipralex for many years and it cannot even compare. Starting on Cipralex was far easier, but the benefits much less. The dizziness is gone, the nausea is almost completely gone and no headaches after three weeks. I feel very positive towards life and have lots more energy than I used to. If you are feeling feverish or other unusual side effects there might be some other underlying issues. My experience is that this drug does not interact well with alcohol and nicotine! So try to reduce this if you can. M 35 4 weeks

 2  Depression Initially my Dr started me on 20 mg per day,but I would get so nauseated that I'd actually throw up. I asked my Dr to reduce my dosage to 10 mg. I still feel very nauseated,but haven't physically gotten sick since reducing. I've noticed that my depression has gotten worse. Seeing my physician next week,and Im going to ask what my options are with another medication. F 49 4 months

 5  MDD I'm able to function again and enjoy life with my sweet family. I finally have a desire and the energy to get out of bed and take care of daily life. Mood is better. Can think clearly. Was on Lexapro for many years. Sleeping great at night. Finally have an appetite again. The only complaint is the nausea that came after increasing to 20mg. Not bad enough to stop taking it. Started taking it at night which has helped some. Eating toast in the morning helps as well. F 42 12 days

 5  MDD, Anxiety, Agorophobia, have chi Nausea First antidepressant inmy life that actually WORKS!! I WANT TO GET UP, DO THINGS.No jitters. Work through the nausea- eat a few peanut butter crackers or saltines, then take pill,then sit UP. Will only last for a little while. Set aside time to be still. If you lay down right away you will vomit. If you take at bedtime, once the nausea calms down,lady on or tilt toward your left side especially if you have GERD issues. At 5mg you may see minimal effects. Once you start to increase toward 10mg you should start feeling better. Please get Zofran for the nausea from your doctor if you need it. It keeps you from vomiting.I almost quit in the beginning due to it but I found that the crackers and only a few shops of water worked. Always check all medication interactions with amedication interaction checker online,especially if you use multiple pharmacies. Hang in there. This medication is a miracle for me. Taper up slowly per month if you need to. F 36 3 months

 3  depression Itching, drowsiness, rapid weight gain, clouded mind, memory loss I will say it worked fantastic at first. I was feeling much, much better but after about a year (I've been taking it for a year and a half) I started noticing a lot of side effects. I just want to sleep all day and night and never feel well rested. I have no energy or motivation and I've gained almost 30 lbs in 3 months. I went from 128 to 155lbs. F 26 1 years

 4  depression and anxiety I have felt great on this medication. My weight has remained constant and my bowel movements are regular. Some nights, I still have problems sleeping, and nap during the day I think I will try to take the medication at night. I have had some serious loss of equilibrium (not vertigo), and I have fallen down 4 times.To date, these episodes have not been associated with the brintellix by my psychiatrist or specialists I have seen for the problem. I have even had an MRI and MRA, and now how an appointment with a neurologist. I am starting to think that the brinitellix may be associated with the loss of equilibrium. I intent to discuss with my psychiatrist again. But I would hate to stop taking this drug, as it has really helped by depression. I have more desire to engage in life, and I am much more social. 62 1 years

 2  Major depression and anxiety Constant nausea despite taking dose at different times. I found taking the dose at night worsened the nausea. Also experienced some abdominal cramps and intermittent itchiness of arms and legs. Possibly those people who tend to experience GIT problems should avoid Brintellix / Trintellix. F 53 4 months

 3  Anxiety Anxiety is gone but I have a flat affect, no sex drive, very moody and irritable. Makes me tired no matter when I take it. I liked it for the first few months. Love how it works on the anxiety. That went away. It is the other side effects like being very tired all the time, irritability, moodiness, no sex drive, stomach aches and just flat affect that I dont like. F 52 6 months

 1  Major depression Extreme Mania!! After 10 years of trying 7 different Ssri's my PCP put me on Trintellix. The first week I felt ok. Then it as if overnight I went into extreme mania. I had no control over thoughts or actions.I was not eating, not sleeping, and extremely compulsive. I was this was for a month!! Almost ended my marriage! Thankfully, my husband knew me well enough to know something was not right and took me to Dr right away. So now I am back on Zoloft, for now. I hope no one else has this reaction. It is absolutely horrible! F 36 6 weeks
