A member asked:
I have gad and depression can brintellix help me specially for gad panic attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: As you probably know, Brintellix is a fairly new drug and works on a specific subtype of serotonin which makes it a bit different than the other SSRI's. While most SSRI's work for both depression and generalized anxiety disorder - only some have been found to be efficacious in panic disorder. Unfortunately the research is still ongoing for right now. Hope that helps!
