Kellie Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Hello, I started meds originally for what I thought was a hormone problem. After 5 years on lexapro, I wanted to try something else as I experienced side effects. I tried Brintellix for 2 months and felt awful most of the time. My doctor gave me a script for Pristiq but I just don’t want to be on drugs anymore. So I’m 1.5 weeks cold turkey from brintellix and feeling like hell. I didn’t have a plan so didn’t taper. If I was to restart tapering, would I do it from brintellix? The world is dark and I have enough energy to feed my kids and that’s all. Link to comment

Administrator Altostrata Posted June 10, 2019 Administrator Share Posted June 10, 2019 Welcome, Kellie. What are your current symptoms? How's your sleep? After you changed from Lexapro to Brintellix, how did you not feel well? This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.
