Suggest Alternative Medicine For Brintellix Without Any Side Effects

Is there an anti-depressant drug that doesn t cause swelling & redness around the eyes? I tried Brintellix & it worked great except for this side effect. After I discontinued the drug, it took weeks for my eyes & the skin around them to return to normal. I ve looked on this website at other drugs & side effects.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The other SSRI such as zoloft, paxil or citalopram are not known to specifically cause swelling and/or redness of the eye.

You can try one of these alternatives to see if it would agree with you.
Unfortunately all medications have potential side effects that may or may not occur.

The side effects may also be temporary eg nausea

I hope this helps
