Brintellix/Trintellix/Vortioxetine

[humblebragging]

If any of you on the forum have taken these SSRIs, what were your experiences with them? Did they work? What side effects did you experience?

Everyone's experiences are so different. Some of them worked for a little bit then stopped some made my depression and anxiety worse. Sometimes you have to try multiple ones before you find one that works. Brain chemistry is so complicated

None of the SSRI's I've taken have helped. Some of them (sertraline especially) made my depression worse and others just did nothing. Brintellix did nothing for me.

All that being said, psych meds are incredibly individual in regards to if they work or not for people. You often have to try several meds before finding one that helps. I'm currently only on an antipsychotic and no other types of meds, although I have an upcoming appointment to be medicated for ADHD.

I was on Trin most of this year so far and didn't notice anything but some upset stomach. Been off it about a week or two now. Expensive.
