"i&#039;ve been on trintellix for over a year now and i&#039;m going to stop. reason?  increased social anxiety and generalized anxiety, increase in paranoid thoughts/ fear, hot sweats on and off throughout the day.  it worked on cognition.  i have been super focused and less suicidal but the unwanted side effects were too difficult to handle and i&#039;ve decided that&#039;s enough.  i&#039;m going to go back on lamictal as it acts like an antidepressant and helps anxiety.  i also have been on abilify for 5 years.  good drug!"
