Brintellix And Mind Function
(Newest replies first)

I just recently went on 10mg and I have gone through all the same symptoms I'm seeing on here. Very tired, vomitting, weight gain, headaches etc. I have also noticed that my memory is horrible, my thought process is slower, I'm typing slower at work, mispronouncing words I never have issues with, loosing track of my thoughts, and not remembering anything about troubleshooting at my job. Answers that come second nature to me are no where to be found. I'm really afraid. What's going on?

Me too! I am having similar issues. Very slow thinking... can't remember words I know well. Since increasing to 15mg I've become depressed and very irritable. I feel quite low...I'd like to go off this...I don't want to be depressed over Christmas, it's a depressing time of year anyway...

Hello, Carrie! How are you? Has there been any change?

Those aren't listed as typical side effects, according to FDA reports. They usually include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, mood swings and weight changes.

I think it would be best to consult your doctor, you may need to switch to a different medication.

Are you on any other medications?
