Is anyone else taking Brintellix? If so, are you have any side effects?
My doctor started me on the drug about 6 weeks ago. I started at 5mg, then 10mg, now I am at 20mg.
I am having some of the common side effects, but I am also feeling like I am burning up from the inside out. I have been more dehydrated than normal, drinking a lot more water now. I am only comfortable around 70 degrees. If hotter, I begin sweating and burning up. It has been a hot summer, around 90 degrees outside which makes it so unbearable.
My doc says this is not a side effect and more or less dismisses me. I am wondering if I am having this issue because of something other than the meds. I did not have the problem before this new drug.
So if your taking this drug, what side effects have you noticed?
Thx.

My doctor is going to hear from me today. I am a little angry about them not disclosing this information to me and blowing me off when I complained about how hard of a time I am dealing with the heat. Just going outside makes me ill. Now I find out that it could have killed me.
sighs, thank you. You might just have saved me with that info. I am going to try harder now to avoid the heat.
Well, I have changed behavior and staying inside more. It give an agoraphobic an excuse to stay inside now.
