"i have been taking 5mg of brintellix for a week now. so far, i think it has greatly helped my depression. unfortunately, it seems to be making me very, very sleepy all the time and it has caused a bit of nausea. i am hoping the side effects will wane over the next couple of weeks. there is some great news besides it helping with my major depression- i have not experienced any sexual side effects like i did on zoloft."
