I am still fighting this. On Saturday I was really hopeless and ready to give up but I got a little energy back on Sunday. Today I am struggling again but I saw my pdoc. He is raising my medication dosage. I told him that I feel like I don't want to increase it just because one freaking person sets me off so badly and he talked to me and convinced me that this guy was just the trigger that set off a new chemical imbalance that needs to be treated.

So I am raising my dosage of Brintellix (Trintellix) from 10mg to 20mg and he is adding another drug called Rexulti which is---I forgot what he called it---designed to enhance the effectiveness of the main drug. He gave me a starter kit for it and a coupon for my first month free.

Everything is so hopeless again now but he thinks this will help me get my energy back and be on an upward swing again and be able to cope again with trying to get back to work.

The Brintellix adjustment probably won't take effect for another 6 to 8 weeks but the Rexulti could start to help in one or two weeks.
