After being on 60 mg Cymbalta for at least 6 years, it seemed to stop helping with depression. Primary care doctor had samples of new antidepressant, Brintellix, she wanted me to try. Started on 10mg and now on 20mg. Two months on this new drug.
Don't feel like it is helping. Husband thinks I'm not myself on it and that I am irritable and have a mean streak he's not seen before. I just don't want to be depressed!
Want to add that doctor told me it wasn't necessary to wean off Cymbalta; just start Brintellix. Don't know if not weaning off has anything to do with feelings I'm having or way I'm acting.
Anybody know anything about this new antidepressant? Need advice.
