I've just been started on Vortioxetine. As it is fairly newish and not a first line antidepressant I have been finding it hard to gather much user experience.
I'm on day 2 and so far haven't noticed any side effects which is amazing as I had so many with my last regime. I am always hopeful that this may be the one, so hopefully this time it will be.

I've been on it about a year and a half now and had exactly the same problem
It seems to have really helped you Jaq?

It has enormously. I don't think I'd let them take me off it now.

I've been on this a week now. I haven't had any side effects other than feeling a bit more tired than usual but I feel I'm sleeping a bit better which is a plus. It's early days and I'm not feeling much lift in my mood but because my sleep is a bit better I'm able to think things thru a bit better. Staying hopeful.
That sounds a really good start to taking them sweetie x

I only started feeling an improvement at 15mgs
It’s a positive start, lovely, and I’m proud of you for seeing that

2.5 weeks now on vortioxetine. I'm really not feeling much of a lift in my mood. I do think my sleep has improved a bit although I'm just always tired. I guess its still early days.
It is still early days but I know how hard that is to deal with when you’re feeling so crap. Just hold on, sweetie, we’re with you all the way (bear)
Keep talking to us love. It really does help...

What dose are you on? It's the same as other meds and takes 4-6 weeks to start working and then you might benefit from a higher dose.
Keep going, you're doing brilliantly

Nearly 3.5 weeks. Still not much lift in my mood and I feel tired all the time even though I'm sleeping a bit better.Flat, tired and plodding...... and obviously whinging too.

You're not whinging. It took me a while for it to start having an effect.
I know it seems like this is going on forever but (and I’m sorry for repeating myself) it’s still not properly in your system yet. It’s going to take a bit more time, I just wish I could take this bit away from you (bear)
Definitely not whinging.... Sweetheart I know it's tough, but it really is a case of hanging on in there and letting them get fully into your system....
