Clearing up of brain fog would be awesome. No sexual side effects would be awesome.
Can it be taken with Effexor though? Effexor has this anti-suicidal effect. And i dont know if i will stay on Brintellix if it doesnt also have a anti-suicidal effect on me.
Just less brain fog without antidepressant activity: I dont know if i would want to take the risk of taking a medication with unknown long term effects.> > A pro would be: No sexual side effects or much less sexual side effects

It would then take another few months to re-establish Parnate should Brintellix not work. It is a difficult decision to make. I don't mind trying Brintellix despite its not having decades of demonstrated safety. I am willing to be among those who try it now rather than later.
