Not that everyone reacts the same, but Effexor on top of an SSRI made my sexual symptoms 10 times worse. And Pristiq is almost just like Effexor...

I've only heard bad things about Brintellix, according to Drs. I've asked about it.

You could always try something other than Brintellix, like Lexapro, Celexa, Prozac, or Zoloft. Why did you quit Paxil?

Here's one resource to check: Antidepressants: Which cause the fewest sexual side effects? - Mayo Clinic
Curious what other bad things you have heard about brintellix. I am on Trintellix which I think is the same thing. I'm not having SD but I think it's making me more depressed and hopeless? I can't tell. I'm on 7.5 mg about to go to 10mg.
