depression
"Taking 20 mg for 2 months. I take in the morning on full stomach and don't have any nausea. I had nausea for a few days but it went away after taking high doses of calcium. I also had itching the 1st week but that went away with Benadryl and applying anti-itch ointment. I've taken just about everything for depression and suffered intolerable side effects - but not with Brintellix. I feel much better. IMHO, side effects can be easily treated with OTC medicines. I have noticed that people who have bad side effects from it are also taking other medications, i.e. for bipolar, depression, etc. My Dr said taking Brintellix with medicines like Wellbutrin can have serious side effects like mood swings, disorientation."
