I love this medication
I’ll never be grateful enough for my psychiatrist finding this medication for me. I’m a 25 year old woman, struggling with anxiety, ADHD, anorexia and some depressive episodes for the past few years. I’ve been prescribed this medication back in December 2024. I’ve had stimulants for my ADHD since 2022. I had tried other antidepressants, Prozac, Zoloft, Cymbalta, Effexor, I hated them all and couldn’t keep them. But trintellix felt immediately different. Of course, the nausea, yawning and itching were a bit complicated at first, but compared to the positive effects, it’s meaningless. I sleep better, I feel more aware during the day, more active, it’s easier for me to take a step back from stressful situations, I’d say ? And because I’m less stressed, I don’t need to rely so much on my anorexia to feel okay. So I live normally, almost, I still need to figure out how non-disordered people eat/behave, because I forgot about that. But I don’t feel the need to count, weigh, measure, overthink, everything feels so easy ? It doesn’t affect my weight, my sex drive nor my energy. It changed my life, I’m laughing again, dancing again, regaining control of my life and body, it saved me. This might sound exaggerated, but I really feel better. I hope this post can reassure people who want to try this medication, I know they act differently on different patients, but it is effective for me and I love it.
