Depression
"I have been on Brintillex for 5 months. Began at 5mg daily, worked up to 10mg, and have been on 20mgs for the last two months. Initially I experienced full body itching to the point where I would wake up in the middle of the night unable to sleep, not helped by Benadryl or other anti-histamines (although they did help put me back to sleep). So far, I have noticed stability with my emotions, and rarely experience anxiety. B helps put me to sleep and I feel more motivated generally. CONCERNS: I have began experiencing blackouts after having a few drinks with dinner (never happened on any of my previous medications (eg. seroquel, cipralex, cymbalta, cloneazopam, zoplicone) NOTE: I am not a heavy drinker, and have an appropriate BMI."
