Trying Brintellix (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I have been quickly tapered off of Pristiq 200 mg....and now am on Brintellix 10 mg. (Total time of taper 2 weeks) I feel like I have the flu. I hate trying new meds and wish there was something that would make these flu like symptoms go away! (Headache, queasy yet having horrible carb cravings, a weird sensation-aches)

Is body itch a side effect? I switched from Viibryd to Brintellix, which is now Trintellix, and I feel like I'm having an allergic reaction. My entire body itches constantly.

I hope your Dr is a Psychiatrist. A primary care physician IS NOT really trained to handle mental issues an all the meds. Primaries just hand out antidepressants like candy an do not understand withdrawal or side effects, etc. Better get a Psychiatrist to help you.

Hi - I had abilify with Lexapro. The side effects from Abilify (1/4 tablet) were horrendous; headaches, body tremors, dry mouth, weight gain the whole 6 months I was taking. That said, it did boost the Lexapro effectively until my dr felt it time to change it.
