Hi. I'm in process of going on fetzima and would appreciate and feedback. It's for anxiety. It's so new its hard to find positive reviews. I'm ok so far but curious if anyone is familiar with this.

      Oh thanks so much for responding. It's for panic and anxiety, so far so good. Will be on 80mg starting Thurs. Whic is comparable to what I was taking. I'm from us but thought it was available in UK.

      Hi, Fetzima is a U.S. Drug and is a SNRI. It may have a different name in the U.K. I think someone mentioned Brintellix. I read that it is only prescribed for Major depression at this time. Of course each country has their own protocol so it may be approved for anxiety in your country. Wishing you the best with your transition.
