Sucks that it will take a long time before it goes full generic.
---

yeah apparently the average copay is $120. the company that makes trintellex has a program where they give out coupons so you can lower your copay to $10 if you sign up for this program. or some insurance companies if you show them you've tried two different anti-depressants haven't worked for you they'll lower the copay as well.

It's weird that pharmaceuticals are so expensive in the US, there'd be a lot of money in opening your own lab to synthesize generics.
---

I'd love an anti depressant that doesn't mess with my dick
---

When I get insurance, think I'll try to get on that if it helps you. I used Prozac and effexor In the past.

effexor is what i'm on now that i need to switch off of. it's causing me a lot of emotional blandness so i'm having a hard time feeling any positive emotions.

Patents prevent generics from being available. And then I'm pretty sure the first company to make a generic also gets to be the only generic for a while.

American pharmaceuticals are bonkers.

What kind of sexual side effects?

Pretty sure at this point that the drug companies just come out w/ new pills when the current one is about to become available as a generic and hype it as a major improvement, just to unendingly milk exclusivity for as much money as they can. And it has absolutely nothing to do w/ actual research advancements.
Maybe I'm just cynical.

Heard antidepressants help with that, ok?

What kind of sexual side effects?

SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) are known to cause decreased libido and performance. This drug isn't a complete SSRI, but it does still mess with Serotonin so it can still cause sexual dysfunction. However this particular drug seems to have less of an effect.

A lot of antidepressants reduce libido for some people

try not to vomit while you're farting excessively

Good luck with the dick thing. I hated when that happened.

both psychiatric nurse practitioners both said they have the least sexual side effects reported of any anti depressant on the market.

I knew you had serious issues, but I wasn't aware you were just another pill guzzler in order to function properly.

Even worst than I imagined, and my evaluation was already ridiculously low.

My sympathies to whoever will have to endure that.

Seriously? That's it? I mean, I am expecting the white knights to insult me for daring to say anything bad to muhlady, but even that was below your pay grade.

Tell you what, pumpkin, I'll let you tell me how I am supposed to feel about that pathetic attempt at an insult, because I am kind of feeling bad for you at the moment.

Nah you can look through my history I don't treat anyone special and I rarely even come to this board. But I was here and that is something I can relate to. Good job being an internet bully though. Gold star.

Could you please try to edgelord harder

This is a medium attempt at best

"The most common side effects reported with vortioxetine are nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, constipation, vomiting, flatulence, dizziness, and sexual dysfunction."

Well, if you're vomiting, farting, and have simultaneous diarrhea and constipation, nobody is going to want to be around you anyway, so the whole sexual dysfunction thing isn't really a big problem.

LOL

Let us know how you fell. Depression

Big Pharma controls a sizable portion of Congress so the laws regulating generics are super fucked. You functionally have to agree to be a subsidiary of the proprietary manufactures, and only with their permission.

This Countrys been fucked since Regean. See the topic about rent in the bay area. A single bedroom can be up to 4k a month. There's no way a box to sleep and eat in should cost more than the national median income.

The center cannot hold. A reckoning is coming.

Just an excuse to get you on more meds to balance it out

You need to find the root of the depression, no drug can do that

Shh, they are going to fall back on "chemical imbalance" and only more drugs with terrible side effects can help that.

Ah, yes, the old "you aren't in control of your thoughts so take this pill to help" scam.

A number of companies. I've seen mice slaughtered for small research companies and I've manufactured API's for Merck. Nothing they do is to help people.

So that leads you to believe that no manufactered drug can assist with an illness that occurs in the brain?

Anecdotally zoloft has greatly improved the quality of my life in regards to my panic disorder, which I suffered from for years trying to manage in other ways

I couldn't function without my bipolar meds. Like literally would be unable to sleep. But you do you, sunny

Y'all clearly are just victim to the placebo effect! Sunny knows all!!

Oh okay so he really doesn't believe there is such a thing as seratonin imbalance in the brain.

Well, there is. So now you know. You don't have to be ignorant anymore. Isn't that great?
