Comparing Trintellix vs Venlafaxine

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 =)

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 Was on lexapro for 9 years for anxiety/panic disorder. Right after the holidays I was plagued by OCD intrusive thoughts and depression. I switched to venlafaxine ER in May, it was a direct switch. I did have some stomach upset the first couple of weeks. It helped me function. I still had some obsessive thoughts and anxiety and was definitely lowered but that may be bc I was primarily depressed. Missing a dose will cause horrible withdrawal. Now am switching to Zoloft and has not been easy. I am currently on day 4 of feeling hungover (dizzy, nauseous, brain zaps, stomach upset, sweats). I also wanted to be on something safer for pregnancy. I’d advise you to think long and hard before trying this med.. if you are desperate to feel better and know you will never miss a dose and can be on it for life or don’t mind the horrible withdrawal even when just switching to a different one. Regardless, I hope you find one that helps you. Stay strong. You are loved & worthy of it.

For Depression I just started taking it within the last few days, and I have been so nauseated since then. My head feels a little cloudy, too. I'm really hoping those side effects go away soon.
