Vomiting And Lithium
(Newest replies first)

I started taking 10mg Brintellix 2 weeks ago ( also taking lithium). After weaning of mirtazipine - what a nightmare!!!!. I have been constantly sick , suffering insomnia, mood swings, no appetite,etc. Is this normal crossover symptoms and do I give the Brintellix more time?? .I have tried nearly every antidepressant around. Was really hoping this one would be "it". I appreciate any feed back. Thanks

Thank you for your reply . Am currently in hospital after my first migraine ( doctors think from change in antidepressants).left side weak, numb and tingling. Have been on 3 different antidepressants in the last 6wks - all at physciatrist's approval. Now told to stop current antidepressant for a week till I see him next Thursday. Do not know how much more my body can take. Any suggestions of a antidepressant that won't clash with lithium??? At wits end.

Hello, Carn! How are you?

Yes, those may be withdrawal symptoms coupled with side effects. The only way to find out is to give it a few more weeks and see if things settle down and you start to feel better.

You may also experience dizziness, headache and weight changes.

If things don't improve after about a month of being on it, then you should inform your doctor.

Is there anything else I can help with?
