FDA - Brintellix guide

J'ai eu mon rendez-vous avec le médecin concernant le rapport que j'ai fait à l'autorité française du médicament. Je suis moyennement satisfait de ce rendez-vous, le médecin a confirmé que j'avais peut-être eu une réaction indésirable lorsque je l'ai pris et qu'en effet il arrive dans de rares cas, que les envies suicidaires étaient en fait liées au médicament et à l'agression également lors de la prise.

D'un autre côté, il a nié que le syndrome de sevrage puisse durer aussi longtemps que ce que je disais (plus de 4 mois) et quand je lui ai expliqué tous mes symptômes, il n'était pas convaincu et a dit que c'était surprenant qu'il soit lié.

 

he also said that I had probably been the victim of paradoxical effects of the drug and that he will ask the question twice before prescribing this drug again (which is a plus!). However, he also said something that shocked me, that he prescribed this drug every day and that in 25 years he had never had a problem.

Can you imagine? A country doctor says he prescribes antidepressants every day to people....

Translation in english :

 

I had my appointment with the doctor regarding the report I made to the French authority of the medicine. I am moderately satisfied with this appointment, the doctor confirmed that I may have had an adverse reaction when I took it and that indeed it happens in rare cases, that suicidal urges were in fact related to the drug and the aggression felt also during taking. On the other hand, he denied that the withdrawal syndrome could last as long as what I was saying (more than 4 months) and when I explained all my symptoms, he was not convinced and said that it was surprising that it was related.

 

He also said that I had probably been the victim of paradoxical effects of the drug and that he will ask the question twice before prescribing this drug again (which is a plus!). However, he also said something that shocked me, that he prescribed this drug every day and that in 25 years he had never had a problem.

Normally what happens is that the drug authority has to send a file to my doctor to report adverse reactions, but I’m not under any illusions. I know that no one will blame these horrible drugs and that I will not get my life back and the drug companies will not compensate me for the harm I have suffered as a result of the drug

[Nyfa25]

I can’t wait to be completely healed of this adverse reaction... I felt a marked improvement in symptoms last week, I still had symptoms when I woke up and in the morning but it disappeared during the day but I managed to spend good afternoons and evenings and now I find myself again with full of symptoms that come with my menstrual period... It’s tiresome to go back to symptoms..

[Nyfa25]

Update : I still have a lot of ruminations in the morning, I constantly live with the feeling of guilt for my dog... I also noticed that I still have a lot of short-term memory loss, will that go with the symptoms?

[Nyfa25]

I am so looking forward to this undesirable effect being definitely behind me.. I want to write a successful story myself

@ChessieCat how many grammes of magnesium can i take ?

[ChessieCat]

It's best to try a small amount first to see you have react to it:

Magnesium

[Nyfa25]

@ChessieCat thanks !

It’s crazy how strange this adverse reaction is, I was taking magnesium in August, which I stopped at the end of September because I didn’t think it would relieve me, I started again yesterday and I feel that it calms my rumination and anxiety enormously now

[ChessieCat]

I've stopped and started my magnesium about 3 times because I ran out and each time I noticed a different when I started taking it again.

[Nyfa25]

Thanks for your answer, i feel like magnesium help to diminue stress and cry

[Nyfa25]

Hi ! I feel a little better in this moment, I feel a little less sad and depressive, but the sleep isn't good
