"i was on prozac for 6 months and it was completely horrible for me. nightmares every night and suicide was way more compelling. i stopped takin the medicine cold turkey. a week ago i got put on 5 mg samples of brintellix. it has been working fine, but my whole body has been itching like crazy. it&#039;s so bad i have blood spots &amp; bruises all on my body. i&#039;m calling my doctor tomorrow to see what they can do about it."
