Has anyone ever taken Trintellix for anxiety or depression?

[Thankfulforhelp22]

I was just wondering. Making a change in the dosage of my current meds but if that doesn't help, Trintellix was mentioned to me as a option.

Thanks in advance and best wishes to all.

I take it. It’s a good antidepressant. I think it’s helped me.

thanks for your response. May I ask, any side effects???

[Hidden in reply to Thankfulforhelp22]

I haven’t had any major side effects with it. You can Google it online to learn more about it. I started taking it a couple of months ago. I think it’s helping me.

I have, but a good friend has been on it for a while and it's really helped him. Think he had GI issues with it before but was ok if he took it with food.

thank you for your input. Appreciated.

Should've said I haven't tried it...(was half asleep when I replied). I'm not on meds anymore, can't tolerate them, became treatment resistant after many years. TMS is my treatment of choice. Anyway, hope it works for you!

I started taking it a few weeks ago. I did have some GI issues but they have settled down now. I think it’s helping. I’ve been treatment resistant. Wellbutrin helped for a few years but then didn’t anymore and amped up anxiety. Fingers crossed that it helps you.

I have been taking trintellix for the past six years. At first it worked well keeping my depression okay along with rexulti. I was kept on klonopin for my anxiety as well as remeron and Depakote as a mood stabilizer. This past year I went through a horrible depression that seemed like it would never end. I was tried on latuda and Caplyta both for bipolar depression, both of which I did not tolerate. I discussed with my psychiatrist how good an antidepressant trintellix was and she said it is a good one. I have since been placed on lamictal which is a mood stabilizer which also lifts your mood. This is working wonderfully for me ! I am very drug sensitive and had no problems with the trintellix.
