Vortioxetine
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....
