Major Depressive Disorde
"I&#039;ve been on Brintellix for four days now after switching from Cymbalta and I am completely regretting it. I felt great for the first day but now feel as bad as I did when I first sought treatment. I&#039;m dizzy and nauseous, I&#039;ve had trouble falling asleep, I&#039;m constantly hungry, I itch everywhere, and I feel like I&#039;m always about to start crying. I&#039;ve had suicidal thoughts of a severity and frequency I haven&#039;t had since before I went on Cymbalta. I very nearly contacted a crisis help center last night, I felt so bad -- and I don&#039;t even really know what triggered it. I&#039;ll discuss it with my therapist tomorrow but I really want to stop taking it; I&#039;m actually nervous about trying to hold out for a month before I see my psychiatrist again."
