Diego:
I've been on Brintellix 30mg/day for 4+ months now. I have a severe anxiety disorder. Like you, I have tried many drugs (mostly SSRI class though), and this trial is not turning out much better than the others. I'd give Brintellix a 3/10 rating for some of my GAD symptoms (tension, paranoia, social inhibition). Overall, though, it's not a robust antidepressant/anti-anxiety effect, and it's way too expensive for me ($250/month) even with insurance. So, when I go back to my p-doc next week, I'm likely to give something else a go. Like anything, it's a worth try, though if you haven't yet, I think.
