I take brintellix 4 day for anxiety neurosis and depression. He also suffers from endometriosis. At this point, I should have my period. It feels massacre. I'm weak all the time the circumference in my head underbelly hurts terribly. I'm afraid I'm going to get a lot of bleeding. Should I continue to use this medicine in this situation?

For @Dorota: Dizziness is a common side effect with Brintellix. It is worth reporting the observed side effect to the doctor - it may be necessary to change the dose of the drug or use an additional drug that will relieve these symptoms.
What about dizziness that doesn't want to go away after taking another pill?

Do not stop or start the prescribed Brintellix therapy yourself. At the beginning of therapy with antidepressants, there may be a deterioration in the patient's well-being. This is due to the fact that Brintellix has a therapeutic effect only after at least 2 weeks of regular use. In some patients, this time is longer. However, so far no side effects of Brintellix related to the intensity of menstruation have been reported: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/13859/brintellix-tabletki-powlekane/apteki If you are prone to hemorrhages and such intense bleeding occurs in you, I encourage you to consult your doctor.
