"i&#039;ve suffered with depression type symptoms most of my life. i mainly suffer from somatization disorder. 
i&#039;ve tried many different antidepressants over the past 20 years &amp; they usually only made me more depressed. 
i started 10 mg brintellix may of 2014. i felt amazing! then, it wore off &amp; was bumped to 20mg. this worked fine. 
one side effect that we can&#039;t figure out is that i&#039;m always so hot! not sweating, just always crazy hot!
i weaned off the brintellix over two months, until i was taking just a small corner of the thinner side then stopped. that was 3 weeks ago. since then, i had terrible withdrawals &amp; couldnt stand it. head vibrating is the worst. 
went back on brintellix last night.
i feel discouraged. 
but it worked for depression...."
