Titration side effects

First, Exxua is helping both my depression and anxiety. I’m actually feeling some emotions and feel some excitement in doing things. Not a lot but a noticeable difference from what I felt before.
I’ve been on nearly every antidepressant since I was diagnosed more than 20 years ago. Some worked but eventually stopped working. Now, with treatment resistant major depression I became desperate. Tried TMS over 38 weeks, ketamine for two months, even micrdosing mushrooms. Tried adding Caplyta which increased my anxiety and Mydasis for ADHD that destroyed my sleep.
Now trying Exxua. Weaning off sertraline. Had mild headaches and “dizziness” (like I drank too much alcohol) but they were manageable and subsided. Just increased my dose to 3 pills a day and my headaches are excruciating. And OTCs don’t help it. Tried 1/2 a hydrocodone and that helped for about an hour and the headache was back. Going to try taking Exxua at dinner to see if I can sleep through the headache. Anyone else getting severe headaches? Anything helping? I’ve not experienced any other side effects. Just the headache and dizziness.

Switching from an SSRI

I have been on an SSRI since I was 20, so 25 years. My doctor has me starting Exxua today and I am terrified. I had a major depressive episode this year that almost landed me in the hospital. I’m so scared about my brain not having the SSRI impact after 25 years. Has anyone successfully switched to this from an SSRI and what has your experience been? Thanks so much 🙏🏽
