"i have tried brintellix on two separate occasions. the doctor said it would take four weeks to take full effect. on the fourth day of taking it, my mood changed drastically. i was very easy to cry and was secluding myself. i quit taking it. went back to normal bubbly self. i didn&#039;t tell my doctor that i quit taking it nor how my personality changed. insurance paid for 90% of it. 



a few months later, i tried taking it again. by the 4th or 5th day, i was very irritable, went into rage and was generally mad. i am a social person with a bubbly personality. i immediately quit taking it again!!  i will be telling my doctor to quit writing a prescription for it and will never try taking it or anything closely related to it!"
