Hello,

Anyone had prescribed brintellix for bipolar and or anxiety?

None of ads worked for me. However my moods are stable for more than six months. But i experience heightened anxiety and lost some pounds.

Right now im expierencing kinda high physical anxiety and losing appetite.

Brintellix for some days. No side effects at all. Iš this okay? Ant experiences?

Dear signs,

I am sorry but I have no experience with that medication. Hopefully those who do will see your post and respond to it with something really helpful to you!

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen

I think Brintellix is the same as Trintellix in the US. I take Trintellix. I had a little bit of weight loss but not enough to counter the weight gain from my AP. Otherwise I tolerated it well. I have to take two AD's and an AP, and an anti-anxiety med though.

Did you have some anxiety in The beginning of taking it?

[SlumberKitty]

No, not that I remember. I've been on it for several years.

Į guess my situation iš different, because Į also have anxiety disorder.

Could you tell me more about what trintellix gives you, how was your initial period?

[SlumberKitty]

What I meant was that I didn't have more anxiety than I normally do. I have Generalized Anxiety disorder. ADHD, Schizoaffective Disorder--Depressed type, and autism spectrum.

Trintellix makes the lows not so low. But I had to augment it with Cymbalta because Trintellix by itself wasn't doing enough.


The initial period at first it didn't seem like anything was happening. It wasn't like a big noticeable difference. Over time I realized the depression part of the Schizoaffective disorder wasn't as bad. But it wasn't enough on it's own to keep me from getting suicidal and super depressed. So it was important for me to add another anti depressant. I did lose a little weight. I don't remember much side effects. Maybe fatigue....like sleeping more at first. But generally I tolerated it well enough.
