"i&#039;ve been battling mdd for about ten years now and i&#039;ve been on and off many different medications.  my biggest complaint with most of them was the fatigue.  i&#039;m only 24, but while i was on this medication it was hard for me to keep up with my friends that were similar ages.  i was always tired, always taking naps and still going to bed early. with brintellix, the fatigue is gone! it&#039;s easier for me to wake up, i can do more during the day without wanting to take a nap and having more energy has given me the opportunity to start exercising again.  i do have a bit of stomach upset while taking it, but it is mild and, frankly, a smile price to pay when considering all the good brintellix does for me."
