Comparing Fluoxetine vs Trintellix

For Depression I started on this drug about 3 months ago and have lost 30 pounds already. It suppresses my appetite and with the weight loss that has helped not only my diabetes but my depression and moods as well. I'm happier, more energetic and my anxiety is better.

For Depression Been on prozac for the last 22 years. I am 68 years old. I was put on it at age 46. I know I was depressed all thru my childhood, teens, and up to when I was given prozac. I am now taking 60 mg every morning. It has shown me what normal feels like for the most part. But what bothers me now is that I have rarely cried over the 22 years on it. I cried briefly when my dad died, and cried when each of my dogs died. My husband and I are retired now. Sometimes I wish I could cry, but can t. Maybe that's the price I paid for being on it so long. I only tried to get off of prozac once, and that was a nightmare!

For Depression I've been on trintellix for 10 weeks now, roughly. I was on 5mg for awhile, now on ten. At first the nausea was unbearable and all it really did was stop me from getting overwhelmingly sad as often but now I've found that I'm more outgoing and capable of trying my best even in uncomfortable situations. The nausea is still there but it becomes super tolerable and gravol is a lifesaver. The only time it became a problem is when I was sick, I vomited non-stop, I had bronchitis so apparently the throat pain mixed with nausea was to blame. Still, overall trintellix has done wonders for my mental health and I'm hoping the majority of others can agree or find another medication that will do for you, what trintellix has done for me.

For Depression Just a reminder for anyone taking the drug and reading these reviews, it take's at least a week or two before one can begin to feel the beneficial results. As for my personal experience; I'm one week on the drug, and I'm taking Ativan as well to treat MDD and anxiety disorders. Other than some rather uncomfortable nausea, and a day or two of vomiting, this has been a very beneficial experience. No weight gain, libido is intact, and I feel clear; however, I strongly recommend you not do any heavy drinking while on this drug, and if you have a history of heart burn or stomach ulcers, then it might be a good idea to use additional medication to treat any stomach problems. All in all, it's working for me =)
