My doctor likes using Trintellix with his TRD patients.I've tried it twice. The trials were about a year apart. The results were the same for both trials. I experienced significant improvements episodically, but I couldn't get it to stick. In the end, the drug did more harm than good. It left me in a fog after its discontinuation that persisted for months. The worst part, though, was when I switched to Effexor. I became extremely suicidal upon starting at 37.5 mg/day. This never happened to me before with Effexor. I've been on it a handful of times. Perhaps Trintellix left my brain altered in a way that would produce such an effect.
Overall, my impression of Trintellix is that it is a powerful drug with few side effects that I think is worth considering.
