I tried it for about 5 months and it did nothing for me. I had no side effects either and went up to 20mg before my psych took me off it.

I've been on it for a year. I've taken multiple antidepressants and trintellix is the only medicine that has worked this well. I still have my dips but they don't last as long and are not as low as previous episodes. That being said, I started on 10 mg and have since moved to 20mg and my doc just added wellbutrin back to the mix after a really bad episode I just got out of, but we are thinking with the season change and holidays it was bound to happen and it's the first bad one in quite a while. I've been really off balance lately and I've had vision issues which I believe can be side effects but I can't attribute those issues to the med specifically. I haven't had any other side effects like weight gain or headaches.
Overall, I feel like I've made more progress with this then any other meds I've taken. Good luck! |

I'm currently taking Trintellix for the first two months I was on an ultra low dose, only 5mg. Last week it was bumped up to 10mg so far I think it's helping, though I don't like the idea of going back on an Antidepressant after years of not being on one. And I'm on a very low dose because I have a history of Self Injury, and all of these incidents happened when I was on a Antidepressant, but that is just me so I wouldn't worry about it if you have a history with Antidepressant and no issues with SI.
I think it has been helping in some areas, and no real side effects so far. __________________ “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
