Trintellix? Anyone? Anxiety? Mood?

Anyone on Trintellix? I read it can help anxiety. Mood too.

I take pristiq but anxiety is still bad. Also take high dose gabapentin but it doesn’t work that great and I take a ton of it. I hate that.

If trinteelix works better, I can get off or at least greatly reduce my gabapentin dose.

I took trintellix a few years back. I think we discontinued it on the chance that i might be what was causing increased liver enzymes? I cant recall for sure. But they took me off for some reason.

anxiety and depression meds seem to have little effect on me anyway. Although Bupropion(wellbutrin) does seem to boost my mood.

I guess what Im saying is that I could not tell the difference between when I was on and off Trintellix.

I remember it making me nauseous. Wasn’t able to give a fair shake because of that.

My NP had me wean off cymbalta and work my way up on Trintellix. Currently, I’m on 60 mg of Cymbalta for a week and 10 mg of trintellix. I really like trintellix. Only problem is I feel really anxious when driving but other than that, I feel high functioning for once in my life.

Really @anon36577941 ?

That is very helpful to hear, Thank you for the reply. I am going to ask my dr tomorrow. I’m so sick of living like this.

I’m very happy that you feel so high functioning except for driving! Maybe that will improve with time for you ? I hope so!
