I've been on Trintellix (vortioxetine) for six days, 5mg. Since the second day, I think, I've been having trouble breathing well, and last night I could barely sleep having what I can only describe as an allergic reaction (dizzy, itchy face and throat, worse breathing). I texted my psychiatrist and she said to take 2.5mg for a few days to see if it gets better, that the body needs to get used to the med. Anyone here with a similar experience? What happened after?
