I use vortioxetine to treat my depression. I had mild nausea and a little diarrhoea for the first four days. I didn’t really feel hungry either. After that, there were no more side effects. Overall, I have the feeling that the medication could be even more effective.
I’ve been on this medication for a week and have experienced daily vomiting. I understand that it takes about two weeks to reach a ‘steady state’, but the side effects are becoming unbearable. I’m dealing with constipation and insomnia. My anxiety has intensified. I’m feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and understandably, I’m depressed. This medication seems to have exacerbated my issues, which I didn’t think was possible. This medication was prescribed to me for severe depression and anxiety. I’ve tried numerous other SSRI/SNRI/TCA’s, but none have worked. These mood disorders developed after I struggled with an undiagnosed physical health issue. It’s been a complete upheaval of my life. In addition to this, I’m also taking 150 mg XR Quetiapine and Valium. I hope my review can provide some insight for others.
