My doctor prescribed an antidepressant but I am afraid of the side effects?

Question

I have anxiety and my doctor has prescribed me trintelix for about a month and a half and I have never taken it yet because the side effects scare me! Is the side effects that bad? I have 10 mg prescribed and I have to increase it to 20 mg

Hello Mrs, In order to better understand the situation, would it be possible to know what side effects you are experiencing and if your pharmacist or doctor has told you about them? Keep in mind that the side effects of this type of medication are usually mild and temporary, and that nothing forces you to switch from 10 to 20mg if you are not ready to do so. I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any other questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
