I don't remember if I have interacted with you, but I've been on Brintellix for, oh, going on 4 months now. I'm taking 30mg a day. It's okay, giving me a maybe 3.5/10 relief for chronic unrelating anxiety and depression. I'm getting ready to try something else, though, as I cannot afford the "discounted" $250/month prescription (a bottle of thirty 20mg pills). (And I have decent health insurance to get this rate.) Anyway, my psychiatrist has been giving me samples of Brintellix the whole time to give the stuff a fair trial. On the positive side, no real side effects to make note of on Brintellix, except for some (not a huge amount) decreased sexual desire and decreased sexual pleasure. I just wish the stuff did more for me on the anti-anxiety/anti-depressant end. Another thing I have noticed is that Brintellix is better for me than Vybriid. I tried Vybriid for about 8 months when it came out two years ago. I know that these Brintellix and Vybriid are supposed to have a similar mechanism of action. Hope my feedback is useful to you in some way.
