Catnapper Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 How long has it taken for Brintellix to kick in for you? I just finished week 3 at 10 mg and have now been upped to 20 mg, with a corresponding drop in Wellbutrin. I have seen some improvement, but hope for more, and the side effects have been negligible. I have been in a really resistant depressive episode for the last several months.I have found the 58 page Brintellix topic here to be overwhelming, so I'm hoping others will post more specific info and start more topics. I realize it's a newer drug so there's not that much experience to report on yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlfuzzy1 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 To be honest, surprisingly, this drug took a good 6-8 weeks to kick all the way in for me. Its slower than you may have expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catnapper Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Thanks for the reply, I'll remain hopeful. I'm at week four, and since it's after 3 pm and I still haven't gotten dressed yet today, I'm not out of the woods yet. This has been a bad depressive episode for me, I wish it would end soon.

justcertifiable Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I still take Brintellix, just increased the dosage to 20mg. So far I have liked it. However I haven't had any of the issues that some of the posters have on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
