I have been on brintellix since august and it was okay. suddenly, i get really bad heartburn, nausea, dizzy spells and i feel weak, so much so that i struggle to function properly for a few hours after taking the medication. is this normal?

Brintellix : Up to 30% of people who take this medicine will have the gastrointestinal symptoms that you were describing. This is not an allergy but rather a side effect of the medication given its mechanism of action.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
