Brintellix / Trintellix (Vortioxetine)
MomWithOCDSon posted a topic in PANS / PANDAS (Lyme included)
Does anyone here have any experience with Brintellix or Trintellix, and, if so, can you share it?

Someone here mentioned that lamictal is helpful for ocd in pandas b/c it reduces glutamate. The more I read about this, the more fascinated and excited I get b/c of the overwhelming evidence to support this. The government is doing clinical trials now with the ALS drug: riluzole (http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/nct00523718) in the treatment or augmentation of ocd. They say 70% respond to ssri's and CBT, but the other 30% don't and that there has been successes with the glutamate reducers in the reamining 30 percenters (which would include me; I've tried most of the ssri's, maoi's, ant
