withdrawal effects

[KatieRichie94]

I started a new medication called brintellix. I do not have a depressive disorder, but my psychiatrist thought that it might help my anxiety. I was only on it for about 2 weeks. Today was the first day I was off it and I feel really tired and a lot of pains in my sides. I'm really sensitive to medications. they work really quick for me but never last working.

how come you were only on them for 2 weeks?

Oh yes. I exercise 5-6 days a week. Also I'm big into the natural remedies as well.

try your favourite sport that will help better than exercise because that make you bond with other people around and make you forget your situation of anxiety!!

That will help better than exercise because at time of doing exercise your mind would be in somewhat of anxious state but sport it will help you totally make you forget your anxiety and

one and only solution to anxiety is you just need to increase those peaceful moments because those moments will give you mental and physical relaxation!!

And the day you are having more of normal time than anxious mind state that day you are on right path!!
