Trintellix May Work For You!

Like many of you, I struggled through finding the best anti-depressant for my journey. What I've learned is what may work well for you, may not have the same outcome with my body chemistry. SSRI's are most successful in treating my anxiety symptoms; however, the loss for words (brain fog) impacts my professional togetherness. I also experience bladder urgency, fatigue and passivity on them. I've also tried SNRI's with similar outcomes. Thus, whenever my doctor offered Trintellix, I openly gave it a try. Albeit, a lack of alleviation to my anxiety level, this is the first medication that doesn't promote brain fog or fatigue. I promise, I do not work for the company, I just wanted to foster hope. Keep trying if you haven't found your best one. Prayers to all!

Thanks for making a great post with excellent advice. We are all different, so what works for one person may not work for another, and vice-versa. As frustrating as it can be, the only thing you can do is try various medications, as recommended by your doctor, until you discover what helps you the most, without causing annoying side effects.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Trintellix as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, gas, and odd dreams.

Our bodies also change with time, so something that used to work well may suddenly stop being as effective. When I first had CHF, it took almost a year to find medications that worked for me to keep my blood pressure down, without making me sick, and miserable. I was very fortunate to have an understanding doctor who was willing to keep trying different ones.

Is there anything I can help with?
