Does Anyone Take This Medication?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is anyone taking Trintellix/vortioxetine? How long? And how was it for you? My main worry is getting serotonin syndrome from it, and also if it makes you gain weight faster?

Not one of my cocktail. You never know how you will react. My best results for depression come from Lamotrigine, which is used to treat epilepsy.

I have been on it for a little over 6 months. So far it seems to help and I haven't had any bad reactions to it.

Lexapro and Lamictal were the magic combo for me. When I was in mclean hospital, the #1 psych hospital in the country, I went in on Trintellix and the doc said she never uses it for patients because it simply doesn't work. It wasn't working for me, that's for sure!

I am not sure what viibryd is but thats what i just started taking and well i am still on my starter pack. I have hopes that it will do more than the lexapro ever did as the times i took it i would double up on a bad day and on an ok day it would hardly take the edge off

I am on it and have been having the worse side effects possible. Only been on it for 15 days, but it was 15 days of hel. I am still waiting for doctor to see if they can change it. Or maybe now that the effects are lessening, it will start working on my depression (I hope).
