"using trintellix for 2.5 months and i feel transformed. it breaks my heart to see how difficult these medications are for those on this blog. i&#039;ve always been a half empty person. go figure. i&#039;ve done ok with my career and my relationships. but everyday felt like a battlefield, another day of struggle and woe. i went to my doctor and ask for a dopamine booster. trintellix is what she prescribed. i had a sense a dopamine booster would help since i like drinking and alcohol stimulates the production of dopamine. as does weed. now with trintellix i don&#039;t need either of those, and my have passion and energy for living has returned, something that i thought was long gone (i&#039;m 65). my only side effects have been a little dizziness, but temporary."
