Wondering if anyone here is using Trintellix for anxiety. My Doc said it works well with no weight gain. I'm on day 7 with mental fog and little increase in anxiety at a low start up dose of 5mg ... and feedback ? Hopefully positive ones .. lol

L.,

I am not sure if any members currently are, or have taken Vortioxetine/Brintellix/Trintellix.

If you do not get responses here, you could try posting in the Depression Forum as well for input. They may not be able to tell you how it performs specifically for anxiety...since they are likely taking it more for depression...but you may get a general idea of whether your experience is typical, what to expect, ect...

Best wishes and keep us updated on your progress. smile

I see you credit your recovery to CBT... did you have a therapist and do worksheets ? What was a session like?

I did both...

I went through CBT with a therapist, which was a combination of talk therapy , and learning to restructure my anxious thinking into rational/positive patterns through worksheets/exercises.

I have also done a lot in the self help format, which is very effective as well!

I recommend both if possible. 😊
