I had been on generic for serzone for years. Also take 1mg zanax 2x a day. I have suffered from anxiety. Mom got very ill, and I started to feel depression along with increased anxiety. My counselor prescribed first 10 mg of trintellix, then 20. 20mg makes me wacky. I am on the 10mg. feel like I want to punch someone everyday. cant relax etc. Mom passed Dec. 18th, 2016. still struggling with that, but..... feel almost like I am in a fog most times. I feel it is the trintellix. Even though I felt that the serzone was not effective anymore, at least I did not have this anger issue, and inability to feel happy about anything. I almost don t care. feel racy at times. I want to go back on serzone. counselor wants to me to wait, as I have new medical issues. one being hypothyroid, which she feels is causing my new symtoms. I am going to be 60 years old. can you help me out? Cindy
HI Cindy would recommend doing TFT and starting medications if needed.Also, slowly tapering vortioxetine and adding valproate with careful monitoring of your symptoms under supervision (as it seems you are having a switch to hypomanic episode)please give details of all your medical issues would recommend careful history taking by a psychiatrist family history of BAD is important hope you will be fine soon
