Vortioxetine diary

[Jacsta]

So.....still in my first week of the new medication. No side affects to report. Going up to next dose in 2 days....I'm glad this is going smoothly as life hasn't been great this ;ast week. Heres to a positive week 2 of new medication!

[Jacsta]

So. Into week 2. Up to 10mg vortioxetine. Can't say there are any side effects to not, though I have been rather fed up mentally....so it could be messing with my emotions and making me more sensitive to stuff.....or that could just be my normally emotional control peopblems....will probably never know.
Am staying on this dose now, so hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll notice a positive change.
Will be coming off my quetiapine in 3 weeks too....oh the fun.

So, I havent updated this in a while.
Not even sure if this is a side effect or if its just my general state of mind, but over the past couple of weeks I have noticed mood swings. One day, Im great and functional, the next (and these are becomming more often and debilitating) I'm havng a bad day, where im emotional, high maintainence, and everything is of great effort.

On the good days, life is good and hope is alive.
On these bad days, everything is the end of the world. Everything requires effort, and it makes me sad.

I will mention it to my OT....but I guess its a case of wait and see.
