Hi all
I havent posted in a while, but am starting a new journey with my medication and thought i would share as its a relatively new antidepressant.
Today I was started on 5mg of vortioxetine. It is a new antidepressant which aims to stimulate serotonin concentrations (woohoo happy chemicals!). It is also meant to help my anxiety levels.
Apparently, it doesnt have many side affects, and is also relatively quick at producing results. I am due to increase to a 10mg dose in one week and then see how I go.
So far, no side effects noticed.
My overall aim is to be in this medication only. so In a month I am due to start weaning off other medications.....no more medication reminders on phone 4 times a day....woohoo. Also the other medications I am on sedate me too much and stop me from feeling emotions properly.....which is bad in overall wellness stuff.
Anyhoo. I will try and update as I go with facts and my own personal experience.
