That's about it. It's impossible to quantify the odds, but my guess is it's a 25-30% shot. But it definitely won't work if you don't take it.
and it shouldn’t make my anxiety much worse
It doesn't seem to have been a major factor for those in the drug trials, but there are no guarantees. Also, not all side-effects are necessarily down to the meds. An anxious mind is quite capable of producing the most severe side-effects imaginable if given half a chance. Become convinced you will suffer greatly and it may create the whole catastrophe for you. If anxiety does become a problem talk to your psychiatrist as there is no need to suffer.
it doesn’t say whether to take morning or night with food or without do you have any idea?
Food doesn't matter and vortioxetine has a longish half-life, around 66 hours so it won't matter when you take it. The important thing is to pick a time of day when you're certain of being able to take it regularly.
