Comparing Sertraline vs Trintellix

For Depression 19 yr old male going on 20. Had been suffering from extreme anxiety, depression, paranoia, intrusive thoughts for the best part of a year. Day to day life was a living hell and I rapidly began to lose any motivation and hope I had left. Started on 50mg, probably made things worse for first 4 weeks, upped to 100mg, wouldn't class it as life changing, anxiety and thoughts are still there, but a lot less intense. Much chirpier and can finally engage in day to day life with a lot more ease and comfort without feeling completely messed up and hopeless. Would recommend, just hang on in there. Things do get better.

For Depression Long story short. I have suffered depression for 20+ years and anxiety for the last year which led me to resign from a stressful management position, my co worker recommended zoloft, my GP started me on 50mg which I took for 2 weeks, my dose was increased to 100mg, it has now been about 6 weeks, I had very few side affects for a few days, slight insomnia, loss of appetite (have lost quite a few kgs) and a little jaw clenching, I feel a lot calmer, I have a little more interest in activities, showering, cooking and cleaning more which are all great results, family members have noticed subtle changes, laughing/smiling and doing more, In saying that I feel as though my dose needs to be increased but will give it 2 weeks, Give it time:)

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 I've noticed that emotionally I seemed to be feeling much better not long after starting it. But at about a month and a half out I'm not sure if the side effects are worth it. I really intense nausea that comes on quickly after taking it is making me miserable. Today I made the big mistake of taking it on a full stomach after lunch. Ended up vomiting my guts out within about 20 minutes, and my stomach is still a little shaky now, 6 hours later.
