"i have tried many anti-depressents over the years and couldn&#039;t handle any of them as i would feel so drugged and sleepy on them i can&#039;t do anything but this time my doctor told me about brintellix, and he gave me a lot of samples.    he said it&#039;s a new antidepressant that doesn&#039;t have side effects.  i was majorly depressed.  i was crying everyday and even left my 30 year marriage.  well i was on 10mg and from the first week it was great.  i was calmer, stopped crying, and i felt really happy.  i love it!  only thing is this stuff is so great, it is $400 &amp; with my insurance the co-pay was $70 &amp; i even had a coupon!  i can&#039;t afford that every month so i had to stop. now i&#039;m getting very depressed again after 1 week without.  can anyone help?"
