Did trintellix make your depression worse at first?

I started at 2.5 mg two weeks ago. Moved up to 5mg on Saturday, so today is day 4 of 5 mg. I plan on moving up to 10 mg this upcoming Saturday. Since the first day of taking this med, I have been crying more, and suicidal thoughts have increased. (I am not in danger, I am familiar with suicidal thoughts).

I have struggled with depression and thoughts of suicide since I was 12 years old, I am 34 now. I have tried most other SSRIs and Welbutrin (as well as abilify) but the side effects were too much with every other med. I am very sensitive to medication.

I maybe feel like things are leveling out a little? But damn I just feel so sad. Sadder than before. I lived through a hurricane recently and it’s been awful, which is why I decided to try this med. I just want to know if anyone else had this initial feeling of depression/sadness getting worse, before things got better. I am hopeful that things will get better but would like to hear from others. Thank you.
