Hi, All.
I had a bad reaction to Trintellix. It is hard to describe. Trintellix left me dazed and with anxiety in the pit of my stomach. My mind was numb and it felt like there was some sort of ringing in the center of my head. Inner tension. Dysphoria. All I wanted to do was to lie on the couch and bury my head in a pillow. I tried to sleep all day long. I didnt want to move. It was getting worse day by day. I discontinued the drug a week ago and there are still residual negative effects. They are dissipating slowly. Trintellix has a 66 hour half life.
Initially, I had wanted to switch from Parnate to Effexor. My doctor suggested that I try Trintellix first since he had some success with it in TRD and it was something that I had never tried before. It was the logical move. I began taking Effexor today. I expect a better outcome.
