Vortioxetine
major depressive disorde
"It early days for me but so far I'm impressed. I'm feeling like the younger (well) me and the only short lived (3 days) side effect for me was slight nausea, no vomiting and healthy appetite.



I only started this med 2/52 ago after taking the (for me) awful Mirtazapine which completely zombified me. I not one to quit too early so gave Mirtazapine 4/12 (titrated up to 45mg). The Doc kept advising the sedative sides would pass but never did. I was completely dysfunctional on them. Simply things like making a pot of coffee were time consuming and perceived as complex.



So I titrated off them, done a little research re sides Vs benefits and requested a Precription of Vortioxetine from my NHS GP, was px 10mg due to previous high tolerance. HAPPY"
