"absolutely terrible. i switched to brintellix from lexapro because i was having some unpleasant side effects.  my doctor suggested this medication as it has &quot;no side effects.&quot; i&#039;ve been through several antidepressants, and may i tell you this is by far the worst one. not only did i have horrific physical side effects such as vomiting after only the second dose of 5mg, but this stuff seemed to screw me up mentally - though that part could have also been due to lexapro withdrawal. regardless, brintellix has made me realize how great lexapro was. i&#039;ll take those side effects any day after this! would not reccomend brintellix - be wary of what your doctor tells you and research any medicine before taking it. back to lexapro..."
