For Depression "I've been taking Trintellix for the past 4-5 days. My anxiety is through the roof, and I'm very angry and sad. I'm on 5 mg, also take Clonazepam, and it's not helping. It's causing trouble in my home life. I'm not sure what to do."

For Major Depressive Disorder "I had been on Celexa from 2002 to 2014, 20 mg a day. My doctor told me about Brintellix (now Trintellix), and I switched to it about 2 and a half years ago. Since I am also on Wellbutrin, I only needed 5 mg of Trintellix a day. Can't say that it makes me feel perfect, but it helped with my depression and anxiety disorder. Today is the first day that I have not been on Trintellix, but still on Wellbutrin, and I am feeling about as even keel as I have in a while, not experiencing anxiety or depression at all. I'll see how it goes in the next few days, but if I keep on feeling like this, I will stay just on the Wellbutrin and not go back to Trintellix."

For Depression "I had been on Effexor for a couple of years and hated being so tired. Weaned off, which took a year. I had no energy or feelings... zip. I went on to Trintellix, started at 10 mg, went to 20 mg after a month. Hate it! Sooo tired, no motivation, sleep all the time. It’s been 2 months. Dr. wants me to go one more month to give it a real try... so over this pill! Oh, and the diarrhea... seriously!!"

For Major Depressive Disorder "For me, this has been the worst medicine in the world. I took it for four days and thought I would go crazy. I hate going to the hospital, but I couldn't handle it any longer. Wow, I felt so depressed, so sad, terrible, but my friend told me to stop this medicine and drink hot tea, black tea. I did four times, wow, I felt like another person."

"My doctor gave me Trintellix for depression. I am not depressed! Sometimes I have anxiety issues. I tried it and it made me depressed! I can't take antidepressants! They make me sick! I've been prescribed several different kinds, and they all make me sick!"

For Depression "This medicine makes me super nauseous, more depressed, very agitated, cry non-stop, and my head hurts. I feel like a crazy person. And this is on just 1/3 of a 5 ml tablet. Not taking it anymore."
