People what are your updates on Brintellix??
Here are mine after 2+ weeks (in comparison with Celexa):
Main complaints so far:
Personal interactions somewhat dampened/can't concentrate in conversations;
Cognitive and executive skills somewhat dampened;
Less motivation/drive;
Interacts with other meds and clears from my system too fast;
Some GI distress...although tolerablePros thus far:
More organic sex drive without having to augment with other drugs;
Wake up happier, without the SSRI "tremors" and sweat;
Obsessive ruminations down somewhat;
Less outright anger, but low, more constant level of irritability;
Sleep is less disrupted
So there it is. Giving it more time but I'm having trouble interpersonally and cognitively. I have a big dive trip coming up and I'm worried about being a danger to myself and how long it would take to switch back.
