I'm doing pretty good. Had a scare when my lithium levels went out of whack a couple of months ago. ECT pulled me out of a bad bipolar depression early in the year and the addition of Trintellix to my regimen has all but smashed it. OCD is still pesky, but Campral has attenuated it.
I'm having a lot of success this year and almost in recovery mode.

Hi, glad you're doing ok. Nice to see you again. You're liking Trintellix? I've taken 20 mg for. maybe 2+ years. Back when it was Brintellix. I like it. How are you treating your ocd? 15 mg isn't very high.

I'm liking the Trintellix so far. We are titrating up because of risk of switching to mixed or manic. Its already squashing my depression but have not noticed a change in my OCD symptoms.
SO, I'm hoping the Trintellix will treat my OCD and bipolar depression. I'm trying Acamprosate as well for anxiety and OCD.

Glad you're doing well!
Thanks for the positive viewpoint on Trintellix - that might be next go-to if the Pristiq I've been taking doesn't start show a little more benefit.
Been taking it Pristiq for about 8 weeks at 50mg, then bumped up to 100mg for the past 4 weeks.
Might try to go to 150mg next week.Anyone tried out Pristiq (desvenlafaxine)?
Thanks for the input!

I was on Pristiq for a short while. It made me quite manic.
