    Today will be day 4 on 5 mg. Some things Ive noticed so far are bit harder to fall asleep and I wake up earlier, bloatiness, maybe a little more irritability too. I think Ill stay at 5 mg for a few weeks.

    Rest is essential with Fibro. A normal Sleep routine can be almost impossible. You can have a lot of fatigue, if you don’t then you are blessed. Fibro can keep you in bed not able to do much at all. It seems to hit you from every side and if anyone can have a half way normal life with fibro they are blessed. Some people have it worse than others. Take a small dose and maybe it will keep your mood elevated enough to not be so depressed you can’t function. Thank God for every day and try to smile through the pain knowing tomorrow will be better if you keep your mind in a mode of gratitude and thankfulness. Our emotions bring on fibro flares so it is important to stay positive. God bless you. You are young, I am 59 and I started really dealing with it at 42. Before that it was not interrupting my life much. I know your pain and it is a daily struggle. I too am sensitive to antidepressants. The doctor just gave me trintellix to try. Going to try it today. I will take a small piece because that is all it takes to let me know if I am gonna get real sick. Then I will take more the same day until I see if it is gonna bother me. Severe headaches and nausea, fatigue and stomach issues were my symptoms. They are normally to bad to were I can not take the medicine. Bless you Dear, hold your head up and keep going. Simplify as much as you can and pray/ meditate.

My new doctor Insisted to me to go on something new so I have tried trintallex Starting from 5 mg and finally I have reached the dose of 15 mg full. What I’ve noticed is that I had Depressive moods. So I went back tocyprallex Which I feel that make me feel psychologically much better. Hope you feel better now.

    Hi Abby, I just started trintelliix today at 5mg. I saw that you had a very good first week and then it got sort of rougher for you. I was looking at the package insert and this med has a very long half life and takes (approx) 2 weeks to reach stable blood levels. Could be one of the reasons of increased side effects. Anyhow I hope your feeling and doing better now Great videos!

    I started on trintellix, switched to Cymbalta because it was covered by my health insurance. Now I'm switching back to trintellix, because my health insurance changed and also I experienced less side effects on trintellix. Power to you girl!! If you have diabetes, you take insulin, if you have depression, you take medication. The body works in mysterious ways... and we should be thankful there are solutions that help us feel better and function well, even if it comes with some side effects.

      @abigail_rebecca  Год назад

      Yes, it happened to me the second time I went on this medication as well! So it is definitely the Trintellix, in my experience. The first time I took it, the aches and pains lessened over time until it wasn't that bad. The second time I tried being on it, I had to come off it after ~9 months because the pain never went away. I hope yours does and you feel better!

    The first week or two was great for me, it’s like the negativity was gone. The bad constant noise in my head, which allowed me to just feel better. But then the third week, I felt so weird. So randomly angry and defensive then the next moment completely void of emotion. I don’t want to quit taking them either bc I want to give it a fair chance, but it’s really sucked some days and my husband gets the brunt of it all. :(

    Hi I am on this as well started with 5 how I'm on ten mg......I feel pretty much just as you do. Im having trouble eating ,low energy, my ambition has kinda gone out the window a bit. I feel kinda just stuck......I was always one to say NO to pharmaceuticals because I know that there no good. But my depression was getting worse and my anxiety as well. Was feeling suicidal...I get headaches pretty much all the time down the side of my head and in the front just a bit mostly from the sides though. Mood is usually pretty good...sometimes I can get a little Flustered but nothing really.....but I haven't been sleeping well at all not eating good at all don't feel like I can do much because I'm never full it's like my body just keeps using my food to quickly. Not really able to get my day started until the afternoon because I'm stuck eating to survive. I've also slowed my Cannabis consumption down to once I got on these which was nice because I didn't smoke all the time like I use to to keep calm. But honestly I've started smoking cannabis again because my stomach hurts and my head is banging and it takes that all away....I'm thinking about just stopping these pills and go back to my Cannabis because it's the only thing that has gave me relief but didn't really stop my depression. But I know why I have depression.....there's a reasons behind everything. Yes I'm socially weird or whatever don't like to really be to social anymore but I do at the same time and just the little human interaction making connections have gave me deep depression. With these pills I just don't feel like I need people but I really do. And all it really comes down to is me getting my ass out there and talking to people even if it's a little weird. But what I've learned so far as a 21 year old is that your gonna just have to do things in life you don't want to do.....but you gotta in order to make PROGRESS in your life. Easier said then done though when your mind is telling you no you cant. I'm still trying to rap my head around that....so really what I'm trying to say is for me I don't like these pills because of the side affects it's giving me. I'd rather just go back to my Cannabis usage and just fight the POWER! i mean the Depression and anxiety....side note as of today this morning I tried to stop taking my trintillx cold turkey this morning...I got really dizzy and was starting to sweat and have a little freak out so I just took the pills and now better but I smoked a little weed (two bong hits) I feel so much better stomach feels so good, head feels alot better...but still feel a little I don't know that light migraine thing you were talking about just slightly. Last thing when smoking cannabis and on these you don't really wanna SMOKE SMOKE you just kinda wanna take a hit or two and your good for the day until night...I don't have the want to get super baked...and I'm a heavy heavy smoker....yep that's my take thanks for making these vids on this and telling people what's up

      Trintellix didn't affect my weight at all :) In contrast, I gained 30% of my total weight extra while I was on Cipralex. I am back to normal now and find that neither Trintellix nor its cousin Viibryd cause weight issues in me, thankfully :) The weight gain caused by some other meds like Cipralex is due to those meds causing insulin resistance and affecting the metabolic system, so it's a good sign for any meds that DON'T cause that!

I gained about 25-30 pounds - and I am a very small person (originally only weighed 105 lbs) so for me that was a huge change - I gained 30% of my total weight again. However, when I came off of it, I did eventually go back down to normal. However, every person has a different experience, so just because I had appetite and weight changes on Cipralex, doesn't mean that you will have the same experience. Hope that helps!
