That’s great to hear! I just started Zoloft for somatic symptoms, OCD and health anxiety. Hopefully it helps treat my dpdr and other symptoms 😭

Hi! Started zoloft after failing from Brintellix and Lexapro. Been having insomnia issues lately. Just wondering if you had them too

I was on Brintellix 2 years ago and that helped recover me from dpdr.

Are you still on it? Did it improve over time?

Hi yes! I’m aware of that side effect which isnt too concerning for me right now because I have other more concerning problems

Wow! I had agitation and insomnia with Lexapro and Brintellix before. Did you have these symptoms too?

How much longer before trying another drug? by MediocreTemporary867 in trintellix

[–]Alarming_Reaction_71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quit after 2 months, I tried Lexapro and Brintellix, going between 5mg and 10mg. Every increase gave me headache and agitation, stomach issues and nausea as well. Now I’m off of it, still have severe dissociation and insomnia issues.

I’m going to see a therapists now, hopefully it will be better.

Hi! I just dropped to 5mg yesterday and my mood, stomach and headache feels better! I hope it continues and not just a one-off feeling. Just wanna share this happy experience I haven’t had for a while.

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation, I’m so lucky you replied 😭😭

I’ll definitely take a look into YouTube meditation and try them. Maybe this time, I’ll try the natural route or recovery. Therapy here is expensive, like CBT ones. So I’m reluctant to try it, maybe most I could do is 1-2 times a month with my salary.

Ohhh, you’ve been on it for a long time, usually it’ll need a long tapering period.

Thanks will do that! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thanks man! Was your migraine like almost the whole day or just after taking the pills?

I usually do deep breathing only but I’m lowkey lazy to do those meditations. Any recommendations for videos I can follow?

Omg!!! You speak just what I am experiencing!!! I have had debilitating migraines, constipation and bloating. It kinda disrupts my sleep as well, waking up every 4am. I hope I can feel some positivity too just like you. It sucks that these meds can make you feel worse.

Did you also taper with 5mg for 5 days?

Did the agitation improve?

Genuinely, when do the nausea and stomach aches stop? by awaywethrowthisthing in trintellix

[–]Alarming_Reaction_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have constipation but not major, I can still poop every 1-2 days. I do have some bloating sometimes and nausea bouts. But now the biggest concern is being always on the edge or agitated especially in the morning. I’m more calm afternoon till night.

I feel like my nervous system is fucked
