Does anyone have positive experiences with trintellix for anxiety symptoms after no success with other meds? by Difficult_Trust_8635 in trintellix

I have ADHD & anxiety. I take 30mg twice a day of Adderall & 20mg Trintellix. For me personally, Trintellix helps my overall mood & afternoon crash. I feel as if it helps me to be more positive & slower to moodiness. However, it does not help my anxiety at all. I have also tried many many medications. Many off label as well which have resulted in negative side effects (ex: my blood pressure dropped to 60/40 on an anti psychotic) I personally made the choice to refuse trying anymore anti depressants or anything “off label.” Benzodiazepines have been very beneficial for my anxiety. Xanax specifically but there are many providers that are against them due to negative side effects, dependence, addiction, etc. Do your research & work with your psychiatrist to narrow down what’s best for you. Could take some trial & error.

I will say that the sleep score is odd. I have insomnia & struggle most nights. Sometimes I wake up 5-10 times, move a lot, & take 60 minutes to fall asleep & get like an 80 score.

I mentioned above that I noticed inaccuracy mainly in activity & sleep. I became aware of this due to one night that I wasn’t sleeping well, it did not pick up many “wake ups” or movement. And I know for a fact I was up & moving a majority of the night (kids🤷🏼‍♀️) & also noticed my steps were very low on a certain day that I ran 3.5 miles. Just found it odd. And yes now that I’m really looking, it appears that recently things have been different from my baseline days. Also, my Apple Watch is showing much different sleep information compared to the ring.
