Hi @irolynn
Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You will see that I moved your comment from mental health about Trintellix to your conversation here and I linked this discussion to both groups for you. This way you still can see it in depression and anxiety and mental health, but you can keep up with everyone who responds with just the one conversation.

I would like to introduce you to @elwooodsdad, he started Trintellix and perhaps can share his experience with the medication.

That being said, you should really contact your physician or their nurse who prescribed you the medication. completely stopping one medication and starting a different one without the proper tapering can be very detrimental to your physical and psychological health. I would urge them to speak with you over the phone or make an emergency appointment. Tell them that your side effects from this medication are getting unbearable and it cannot wait a week.

Are they aware of the itching and terrible anxiety?

Yes, they said I have to wait until my prescriber appt next week. I already feel better after one day. I was only on 10mg of Trint for about a month. I was originally on effexor 150. So I just stopped the Trint and took a 37.5 effexor xr I have leftover from my tappering off to get on the trintellix. I called nurses, pharmacy, nobody could help me. So I made my own decision. This Clinic I go to is not good and the hospital here has no mental health. I do have clonazepam to help. I did not know what else to do. Im not itching hardly at all.
