Hi, Viking.

It does help. Thank you.

I have bipolar depression.

I really don't have much confidence in Trintellix, but my doctor is leaning in the direction of using it before going to Effexor, which I had partial success with. I guess it makes sense to try something that I haven't taken yet. My doctor is smart, and likes to think outside the box in my case. For instance, he had me try prazosin, even though I don't qualify as having PTSD. I was dubious and was sure that it wouldn't work. I decided to let him take a shot without my putting up any resistance, despite my having doubts. It has helped me much more than most standard antidepressants. The only side effect - and it's a big one - is that I have very little sex drive. I wouldn't be without prazosin. I tried to discontinue it twice and I deteriorated quickly. It turns out that my doctor chose prazosin because of my description of chronic childhood trauma. He called it developmental PTSD. Now, it is described as C-PTSD or complex trauma disorder. I believe this contributed to the evolution of depression in my case.
