I've been on it for a month now and have noticed no side effects. I think the dosing the manufacture suggests is too low...I didn't notice a positive effect until I increased the dose to 40 mg. I'm not using it for depression though; I'm using it for OCD. Brintellix seems to be designed to treat anxiety: 5ht1a agonist, 5ht1b antagonist, 5ht1d antagonist 5ht3a antagonist - all of these receptors govern anxiety in some way or another.
> I'm getting no motivation, very little sleep, sexual dysfunction, joint pain, weird dreams, social anxiety
all of these strike me as symptoms, not side effects, which means Brintellix isn't working for you.
