My doctor started me on Trintellix 5 mg. I took it for 4 weeks with no major issues, but then he increased it to 10 mg and it hit me like a ton o f bricks. My anxiety was over the roof, my thoughts were extremely bad, and I normally do not have depression, but I did then. I had my first panic attack after years of not having any. My stomach hurt and I was very nauseated. During this time though, I also caught Covid. Has anyone had any anxiety/stomach pain with Covid??? I am so over this.. I have Health Anxiety, OCD, and Generalized Anxiety. Any suggestions on what medications might work?

I’ve been on Trintellix for several years and have found that it works well for me. I am on a 20mg dose. I started at 15mg. I have been on probably 15 different meds over the years and like trintellix the best. However, as we all know, not every drug affects everyone the same way.
I had covid two years ago and found myself anxious mainly because of all the hype and because I didn’t have anyone to take care of me in the event I got worse. I believe that scenario would be more anxiety provoking than the drug but that’s just my opinion. If you don’t feel well, you could be stressed about everything you can’t do because you are sick and that in itself is anxiety provoking.
