> > In case anyone is curious about Brintellix, I can report doing well. I experienced a significant difference jumping from 10 mg to 20 mg. I've been depressed for a long time, and I think I'm unwinding the depression.... Does that make any sense? Remission is a slower process than I had anticipated. On Brintellix, I feel that I'm uncovering pockets of well being I had long forgotten. It's kinda weird. I feel more clear headed. That, and anorgasmia is gone.

> - ScottAs I stated in previous posts, I'm now on 20 mg of Brintellix. It is much more effective in relieving my GAD and related symptoms than any dosage of Zoloft that I was on (and I tried every dosage available). The cognitive improvements are real, at least for me, as I've been on Focalin XR 10 mg for a few years PRN and have needed much less of it since taking Brintellix. My PRN usage of Xanax XR has virtually disappeared which should tell you something.
My only remaining concern is my remaining lower leveling of mood and lower leveling of sexual desire that I'm willing to give more time and discuss on continued follow ups with my pdoc.
