Just saw psychiatrist who gave me 5 mg samples of Trintellix for mild anxiety, really more just overwhelmed by stress. Anyway I refuse to take any SSRIs because quite frankly the sexual side effects would give me a legit reason to be anxious and depressed and while i have never been suicidal if i was sexually ruined for rest of my life cause of lasting effects of SSRI i might become like that. Psychiatrist said chances of trintellix causing sexual side effects in men are less than 10 percent. i looked it up online and it looks closer to 25 percent which is way too high. Does anybody have experience with Trintellix at 5 mg once a day. what the real chances are of sexual side effects and the real severity of it and whether they go away when you stop taking it or the damage is permanent like some other SSRIs can do. Risk feels awful high. My other options are I have an old bottle of Buspar 7.5 mg but it made me dizzy last time at 7.5 and doctor was talking about needing 30 mg twice a day. Other option i am exploring is high CBD no THC oil or gummies. Anybody have any experience if CBD helps at all for anxiety without the THC. Thanks.
