BusuB:
I'm into my third month of Brintellix at 30mg a day. The only real side effect I've had is decreased sexual desire, but that has kind of gone away. There has been no real "build up" effect. Brintellix seems to start working immediately after I take it and wear off within 10-12 hours-ish. I take 20mg in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon. It's giving me some antidepressant and anti-anxiety benefits, but not very robust. It's better than Viibyrd, which I took for 7 months. I also find myself fatigued and not "opened up" like I want a good antidepressant to work. My diagnosis sounds somewhat similar to yours as I have serious GAD (verging on panic), depression, and there is definitely a tendency toward agoraphobia there. I hope Brintellix works for you.
