Scott,
> Since you are about the first person on Psycho-Babble to try Brintellix (vortioxetine), I was wondering whether you would be kind enough to start a diary of sorts describing your experiences with this drug.I would love to have started a diary on the drug however I was fored to stop taking it. When I went up to the 20 mg dosage I started vomiting all the time and could not get the nauseau and emesis under control with ondansetron. I really hate having to stop the drug, but bmy body couldn't tolerate it.
In two weeks, the medication started getting the worst of my OCD underr control. By 4 weeks I was free of sucicidal ideations, which I have always had difficulty treating. By 6 weeks I was very calm but depressed. I'm sure with a couple more week my depression would have come under control.
Eric
Lithium 1200 mg
Lexapro 20 mg
Vyvanse 70 mg
Geodon 160 mgPS. Did you know, Geodon has many of the same mechanisms of action Brintellix does?
