mindinsanity Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I just went from Prozac to Brintellix, it's apparently a really new drug that came out in September of 2014. I can't find much on it with it being that new, and no one I know has been on it. Can anyone tell me their experiences? I'm on 10mg right now, just took my first pill about 30 min ago. So far...nothing but it takes time so... I'm also recommended by my doctor to go to a treatment facility for group therapy can anyone talk to me about their experiences in group therapy or treatment centers in general? I've been to therapy twice but not this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooch68 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I've been on Brintellix for about 5 days now.....wicked nausea after first taking it and a little mania, but that could my anxiety. My doc seems to think it's the next wonder drug so I have high hopes considering my past history of unsuccessful medications. I hope it works for you.....

crtclms Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hi, I'm going to move this to anti-depressants. Also, I think you mean it came out in Sept of 2013, as Sept of 2014 hasn't happened yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJJ Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 For Mindinsanity: See that it's been now over a month since you started Brintellix, which i just started on @ 10 mg. Wonder if you're still on it and if so how have you done with it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qbey Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Does anyone have an update on this? Kooch68: It seems as though you have discontinued Brintellix (it's crossed out in your signature). My pdoc thought it was the next new wonder drug as well, but it made me insane irritable, like almost in a rage. I've always had a bit of irritability, but never anything like this. I stopped taking it. I have tried posting responses on every single Brintellix thread I can find, but no one ever answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdcooper Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Its working for me but its only been 9 days-no irritability but I do get a bit wound up - an energized feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
