It's supposed to be the best serotonergic drug out there for cognition, memory and attention. I'm not sure it's done a whole lot for me depression wise, but I do think it's helped cognitively.
Hope that helps some...

Thanks for the info. I am coming off ect because of problems with memory. I have been on it for a long time, and it has surprised the Psy. that I am having these problems at this time. He says that it usually happens during the first few and they call it ect delirium (sp?). I think I will mention this medicine and see what he says.
I am already on prestiq, ativan, buspar for my depression. maybe I can switch the pristiq for the brintellix. thanks alot.
